EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "John Cottington, alias Mul Jack, robbing the Oxford Waggon wherein he found four thousand pounds in money" takes us back to a thrilling moment in history. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this print captures the essence of crime and adventure. In this scene, we witness John Cottington, known as Mul Jack, executing a daring robbery on an Oxford Waggon. With his whip in hand and gun at the ready, he fearlessly confronts the carriage's occupants. The tension is palpable as he demands their valuables. The details are meticulously depicted; from the horses' wild expressions to every strand of hair on Mul Jack's head. The flintlock pistol gleams ominously under sunlight while farm animals graze nearby obliviously. What makes this image even more intriguing is that it is based on true events. John Cottington was indeed a notorious highwayman who successfully seized four thousand pounds during this audacious act of thievery. As we gaze upon this historical artwork now preserved in a private collection, we can't help but be transported into a world where danger lurks around every corner. It serves as a reminder that even within art lies stories waiting to be discovered and shared with future generations.
