EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the infamous daggers worn by Colonel Blood and Parrot during their audacious theft of the regalia from the Tower of London. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into one of history's most daring heists. The daggers themselves are intricately detailed, showcasing their ornate craftsmanship and historical significance. These weapons were not only tools for Blood and Parrot but also symbols of their boldness and determination to carry out their nefarious plan. Colonel Thomas Blood, a notorious Irish adventurer, masterminded this audacious plot in 1671. Alongside his accomplice Parrot, they managed to infiltrate the heavily guarded Tower of London under false pretenses. The stolen regalia included the Crown Jewels, which held immense cultural and symbolic value for England. This engraving serves as a visual testament to both the cunning nature of these thieves and the enduring allure surrounding tales of high-stakes thefts throughout history. It was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 6th, 1860. Now preserved within a private collection, this print allows us to reflect upon an extraordinary event that challenged even the mightiest fortress in England. It reminds us that even within seemingly impenetrable walls lie vulnerabilities waiting to be exploited by those with enough audacity and ingenuity - like Colonel Blood and his trusty partner Parrot.
