EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Toll Evasion (circa 1800)" we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling chase through a toll gate. The original artwork, skillfully created by J Thompson, captures the chaos and commotion that ensues as toll collectors desperately pursue a man on horseback. The landscape setting is reminiscent of an era when road transport infrastructure was still in its infancy. A rustic wooden toll gate stands prominently, adorned with a weathered sign indicating the presence of tolls. The horse, galloping at full speed, symbolizes both freedom and rebellion against societal constraints. The scene is filled with disorder as the rider defies authority and attempts to evade payment for his passage. We can almost feel the tension in the air as toll collectors scramble to apprehend him before he escapes their grasp. Rischgitz's masterful photography preserves every intricate detail of this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also gain insight into transportation practices from centuries ago. This remarkable print from Fine Art Storehouse serves as a reminder that even in times long past, individuals were willing to challenge established norms and engage in daring acts of defiance. It invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with rules and regulations while appreciating the beauty captured within this timeless image.
