Légende

Robber Life in Hungary, 1883. '...deplorable incidents...1. Robber and Shepherd - the conference of one robber with a friendly accomplice among the shepherds or keepers of oxen. 2. Pig-stealing Practice - a bit of predatory practice with a herd of pigs, one of which is to feast the robbers. 3. Returning from a Cattle Raid - [Robbers] leaving a farm-house which they have pillaged and set on fire, in one of their midnight expeditions. 4. An Alarmed Household - these villains extort contributions of money and other valuables, by fierce threats of inflicting bodily injury or death, and of burning the house with all that it contains. 5. Highway Robbery of the Mail - robbery of a post-cart, in which the terrified driver and postman, with murderous pistols aimed at their heads, are forced to give up from the mail-bags any letters supposed to contain money. 6. Arrest of Robbers at a Roadside Inn - arrest of certain malefactors. 7. The Leader in Prison. 8. The Reward of Crime - the final vision of the gallows prepared for their needful extermination...We regret to learn from credible information that lawless outrages have become of late years increasingly prevalent among the half-barbarous peasantry of the vast pastoral plains'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
