EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Paul Hardy depicts the infamous Claude du Vall dancing the Coranto on Hounslow Heath. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the audacious thief and robber in all his glory. Du Vall was one of England's most notorious highwaymen, known for his daring exploits and charismatic personality. In this scene, he is seen gracefully moving to the rhythm of the Coranto, a popular dance during that era. His nimble footwork and elegant posture are juxtaposed against the rugged backdrop of Hounslow Heath. The illustration originally appeared in Charles Harper's book "Half-Hours with the Highwaymen" published by Chapman and Hall in 1908. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Hardy's skilled hand. Although Du Vall hailed from Germany, he became an iconic figure within English folklore due to his daring escapades on British roads. This engraving not only immortalizes his criminal activities but also highlights his ability to captivate audiences both on and off stage. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness Du Vall's mesmerizing performance firsthand. It serves as a reminder of an era when highwaymen roamed freely across Europe, leaving behind tales that continue to fascinate us today.
