EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "ENGLAND: HIGHWAYMAN, c1665" we are transported back to the 17th century in Windsor Forest. The scene depicts Claude Duval, a notorious highwayman from that era, boldly robbing Squire Roper during a hunt. This line engraving is taken from Charles Johnson's book "A general and true history of. . . highwaymen" published in London in 1742. The image showcases the dramatic encounter between Duval and Roper amidst the picturesque countryside. Duval, mounted on his majestic horse, brandishes a pistol with confidence while demanding valuables from the startled squire. The forest serves as an enchanting backdrop for this daring act of robbery. Notably, there is a whippet dog by Duval's side, adding an intriguing element to the composition. It hints at both companionship and loyalty within this criminal world. This artwork captures not only the essence of English highwaymen but also provides us with glimpses into their audacious lifestyle during that time period. The attention to detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate prints. As we admire this historical piece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, it reminds us of England's rich past filled with tales of adventure and intrigue.
