EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the criminal underworld of St. Giles, London in the 18th century. The division of the robbery is depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing a group of thieves dividing their spoils after a successful heist. Women and men alike are seen sharing in the petty theft, highlighting the societal norms of this notorious district. The work by Isaac Cruikshank from 1796 comes to life through this stunning reproduction found in Illustrierte Sittengeschichte vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart by Eduard Fuchs, published in 1909. The image offers a glimpse into the den of pickpockets and robbers, where alliances are formed and loyalties tested as they divide their ill-gotten gains. The intricate composition and expressive characters draw viewers into a world filled with danger and intrigue. Each figure tells a story of survival and cunning as they navigate the treacherous streets of London's criminal underworld. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those living on the fringes of society. The division of the robbery serves as a stark reminder that desperation breeds innovation, even among those deemed outlaws by society's standards.
