Overview

This is a 19th-century steel engraving titled "Intercepted Despatches", engraved by W. Greatbach after a work by Lucas. Both names appear in printed text below the image, and the print was likely removed from a historical volume or folio.

The scene portrays a moment of espionage and intrigue. A man, bound to a chair, has had his possessions scattered on the floor. At the opposite end, three well-dressed men—likely officials or noblemen—closely examine his papers, emphasizing themes of secrecy and authority. The domestic interior and attire suggest a historical European setting.

The print is mounted in a removable two-piece mat, which is not adhered to the artwork, allowing safe storage or reframing. This piece provides a compelling glimpse into themes of power and surveillance, making it appealing to collectors of antique prints and enthusiasts of historical art.
