EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Old Mob Robs the Duchess of Portsmouth" by Paul Hardy takes us back to a thrilling era of highwaymen and daring robberies. This artwork, part of a private collection, depicts a dramatic scene from Charles Harper's book "Half-Hours with the Highwaymen". In this digitally cleaned image, we witness the audacious act as members of the notorious "Old Mob" gang ambush and rob the esteemed Duchess of Portsmouth. The detail in Hardy's work transports us to 18th-century England, where these knights of the road ruled with their cunning tactics. Thomas Simpson, one of the most renowned English highwaymen, leads this daring heist alongside his fellow German accomplices. Their expertise in thievery is evident as they execute their plan flawlessly. This engraving not only captures an exciting moment but also offers insight into European history and culture. It highlights Germany's influence on English society during that time period when many Germans sought fortune abroad. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as a reminder that even in times long past, tales of adventure and intrigue continue to captivate our imagination.
