EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Cattle-Lifters crossing the Border" artist Richard Beavis takes us back to a time of lawlessness and adventure. The print, now part of a private collection, transports us to the rugged landscapes of Scotland in 1872. The scene depicts a group of cattle-lifters boldly crossing the border with their ill-gotten gains. With their faces hidden beneath wide-brimmed hats and cloaks billowing in the wind, these daring rustlers navigate through treacherous terrain as they make off with stolen livestock. Their eyes are filled with determination and mischief, knowing that they are one step ahead of justice. Beavis masterfully captures both the danger and excitement surrounding these outlaws' exploits. The vastness of the landscape serves as a reminder that even nature itself cannot contain their audacity. As sheep graze peacefully nearby, oblivious to the unfolding drama, we witness an age-old battle between man and beast for control over valuable resources. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on October 26th, 1872 – providing readers with a thrilling glimpse into Scotland's wild frontier. Today, it continues to captivate viewers by immortalizing an era defined by its untamed spirit and relentless pursuit for survival. Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder without commercial constraints or limitations – enabling art enthusiasts worldwide to delve into history's most intriguing moments through visual storytelling.
