EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Robbery of the diligence" transports us back to the 19th century, a time when crime and criminality were rampant. The detailed illustration depicts a daring theft taking place on a horse-drawn carriage, known as a diligence. The scene is filled with tension and suspense as the robbers execute their plan with precision. Created by an Australian School artist in the late 19th century, this engraving was originally featured in Thomas W Knox's book "The Underground World," published in 1879. It offers viewers a glimpse into the dark underworld of thefts and robberies that plagued society during that era. The black and white composition adds to the dramatic effect of the image, highlighting every intricate detail of the robbery unfolding before our eyes. From the expressions on the faces of both thieves and victims to the architectural elements of the setting, every aspect has been carefully crafted by the skilled engraver. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of how transportation systems have evolved over time while crime remains an unfortunate constant in human society. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and sheds light on themes that continue to resonate with audiences today.
