EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary figure of Dick Turpin, an English highwayman, as he embarks on a daring journey to York. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the 19th-century scene, capturing both the beauty of the landscape and the intensity of Turpin's character. Mounted atop his loyal steed Black Bess, Turpin cuts a striking figure against the backdrop of rolling hills and open fields. His rugged appearance hints at a life filled with danger and adventure. As one of England's most notorious outlaws, Turpin is celebrated as a folk hero for his audacious exploits along the highways. The image also highlights an important milestone on his treacherous path - a traveler's milestone that marks progress towards their destination. This symbolizes not only Turpin's physical journey but also his relentless pursuit of freedom in defiance of societal norms. Turpin's connection with horses is evident in this artwork; Black Bess becomes more than just an animal companion but rather an extension of himself. Together they navigate through vast landscapes, evoking feelings of wildness and untamed spirit. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into history - witnessing both man and beast intertwined in their quest for survival amidst a world plagued by crime and lawlessness. It serves as a reminder that even those branded as criminals can become legends who capture our imagination centuries later.
