EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases a pivotal moment in criminal history. The image depicts John Hartley, James Deane, and their cunning accomplices inside the residence of Mr Clewin at Finchley. These audacious individuals were responsible for committing a daring burglary that sent shockwaves through society. As we examine this scene closely, we are transported back in time to witness the meticulous planning and execution of their illicit act. The room is adorned with exquisite furniture and furnishings, providing an intriguing contrast to the nefarious activities taking place within its walls. The criminals' clothing reflects the fashion of the era, adding an additional layer of historical significance to this print. Their attire hints at their social standing and perhaps even disguises used during their unlawful endeavors. This engraving not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with crime throughout history. It invites us to ponder upon questions surrounding morality, justice, and the lengths people will go to achieve personal gain. Preserved within this private collection, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an age where lawlessness thrived alongside societal norms. It stands as a testament to our enduring curiosity about those who choose paths divergent from what is considered acceptable by society's standards.
