EDITORS COMMENTS
"ENGLAND: HIGHWAY ROBBERY. John Cottington (c1611-1655), also known as Mul-Sack, robbing a wagon in which he found 4,000 pounds sterling. Line engraving from A general and true history of. . . highwaymen by Charles Johnson, London, 1742". This print takes us back to the treacherous roads of 17th century England, where lawlessness reigned supreme. In this scene captured by the talented artist Charles Johnson, we witness the audacious highwayman John Cottington, famously known as Mul-Sack. Mounted on his trusty steed and armed with a pistol at hand, Cottington fearlessly confronts a wagon traversing through the picturesque English countryside. With cunning precision and nerves of steel, he successfully pilfers an astonishing sum of 4,000 pounds sterling from his unsuspecting victims. The detailed line engraving transports us into an era filled with danger and excitement; it is a testament to both the artistic skill of its creator and the historical significance it represents. The image showcases not only the daring exploits of Cottington but also sheds light on the prevalent issue of highway robbery during that time. As we delve into this snapshot from history's pages, we are reminded that even amidst chaos and lawlessness there exists artistry worth cherishing.
