EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Turpin Meets Tom King" artist Paul Hardy brings to life a thrilling encounter between two infamous figures of the English underworld. Set against a backdrop of 18th-century England, the image depicts the meeting of Richard Turpin, a notorious thief and highwayman, with Tom King, another renowned robber. The finely detailed print showcases the tension and intrigue that surrounds these larger-than-life characters. With their eyes locked in an intense gaze, one can almost feel the charged atmosphere as they size each other up. Both men are dressed in period attire, exuding an air of danger and audacity. This artwork is based on an illustration for Charles Harper's book "Half-Hours with the Highwaymen" published by Chapman and Hall in 1908. The digital cleaning process has restored its original clarity while preserving its historical charm. As we delve into this scene from history, we are transported to a time when knights of the road roamed freely across Europe. Turpin and King become symbols not only of English criminality but also of Germanic folklore prevalent during that era. Their stories resonate even today as reminders of our fascination with outlaws and their place within European culture. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such engravings and the enduring allure of these legendary figures from England's past.
