EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing characters of David Brown Dignam and George Barrington, as depicted in an illustration from the London Magazine in May 1777. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century, measures 16.5x9.5 cm and is part of a private collection. In this engraving, we see two men standing side by side, each with their own unique story to tell. George Barrington, originally an Irish pickpocket who later became a policeman, stands tall with his hat on his head and chains around his wrists. His gaze exudes both defiance and curiosity about what lies ahead for him. Beside him stands David Brown Dignam, another enigmatic figure whose background remains shrouded in mystery. Both men are dressed in attire that reflects their status as prisoners - a stark reminder of their past deeds. The composition captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of these individuals' lives as robbers turned adventurers turned convicts. Drawn from life itself, this portrait offers us a glimpse into their world filled with danger and uncertainty. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries ago, it serves as a poignant reminder that even those deemed criminals possess complex stories worth exploring.
