EDITORS COMMENTS
This dramatic lithograph captures a scene of violence and betrayal in the world of smuggling during the 19th century. The image shows Chater, chained in ye Turff House at Old Mills's Cobby, being brutally attacked by Tapner while he recites the Lords Prayer. As Chater is kicked and his eyes and nose are cut by his fellow smugglers, several others stand by witnessing the gruesome act.
The tension and danger of this moment are palpable as we see the dark side of criminality depicted with stark realism. The black-and-white composition adds to the intensity of the scene, emphasizing the brutality and desperation that characterized these illicit activities.
This print serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those involved in smuggling operations, where loyalty was often fleeting and violence lurked just beneath the surface. It offers a glimpse into a hidden world where trust was scarce and survival meant betraying even your closest allies.
Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to an era when crime reigned supreme and morality was but a distant memory. It is a chilling reminder of how far people will go in pursuit of wealth and power, regardless of the consequences.
