EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from the 18th-century chapbook "A True Tale of Robin Hood" beautifully brought to life by John Ashton in 1882. The image transports us back to a legendary world filled with birds, mythology, and the iconic archer himself. In this woodcut depiction, we find Robin Hood surrounded by his merry band of outlaws in the heart of Sherwood Forest. With their bows and arrows at the ready, they embody both skill and camaraderie as they prepare for another daring adventure. The forest serves as their sanctuary, offering shelter and concealment as they navigate through its dense foliage. Robin Hood's distinctive moustache adds a touch of charm to his rugged appearance, while his piercing gaze hints at his unwavering determination to rob from the rich and give to the poor. His arrow is poised on the bowstring, symbolizing not only his prowess as an archer but also his unwavering commitment to justice. This facsimile engraving captures all the excitement and allure associated with one of history's most beloved folklore heroes. It invites us into a world where myth intertwines with reality, reminding us that even in times long past, tales like these continue to captivate our imaginations. As we admire this artwork from centuries ago now preserved in private collection thanks to The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded once again why legends like Robin Hood endure throughout time - because they speak directly to our hearts.
