EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "John Smith robbing a Hackney Coachman" takes us back to the notorious crimes of the early 19th century. Created by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz) and based on original drawings by Phiz for "The Chronicles of Crime or The New Newgate Calendar" by Camden Pelham, this print offers a glimpse into a dark chapter in history. Set against a backdrop of deserted and desolate streets, we witness the daring act of John Smith as he brazenly robs a Hackney coachman. The scene is filled with tension and suspense as the unsuspecting victim becomes entangled in this infamous crime. With meticulous detail, Browne captures every nuance of fear and desperation etched on their faces. The composition draws our attention to the contrasting characters involved - John Smith, known for his notoriety in criminal circles, juxtaposed against an innocent coachman simply going about his daily duties. This visual narrative serves as a reminder that even in seemingly safe places like coaches traversing city streets, danger lurks around every corner. Through this powerful image, we are transported back to 1803 when such crimes were unfortunately all too common. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document that sheds light on the darker aspects of society during this era. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we cannot help but be captivated by its ability to evoke emotions and transport
