Stand & Deliver

Stand & Deliver

Mixed Media, lots of layers and textures.
Moll Cutpurse is the only highway women I’ve found any reference to although I’m sure there were more…probably too smart to get caught;)

Moll Cutpurse’s real name was Mary Firth, a bit of a tomboy, always ready for a rumble and happiest in the company of men.
Sources on her history are a little conflicting but she was a bit of a roguette and after pulling a big job on a Lord, brided her way of goal and the business finding it safer to work as a fence…..a fascinating character from the early 1600’s.

Von kindly posted this wonderfully fitting poem
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding-
Riding-riding-

Sales to date: 2
Available as a framed print, matted print, poster and card.

Thank you to Marcus Ranum for the beautiful model.

    Always ready for a rumble and a tumble, I’m sure :) Like the pose especially, it’s a good pose to make one’s self a smaller target, especially against arrow-fire. On the side, it also gives a narrower silhouette for fencing! Good show, Shan! :)

    There were at least 2 famed females that I know of, I forgot their names, But they both ended up caught and pregnate in jail, they one was hung after her baby was born the other was a daughter of some rich guy and she disapeared not long after being jailed.

    One of the girls was a great sword’s man and at first mistaken for a man untile she had gotten closer to this other woman and her boyfriend on the ship got in raged about it, she then reviled she was a woman. All was well till they got caught.
