The Last Pirates - A Dramatic Encounter on the High Seas
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Last Pirates (Colour Litho)" captures a thrilling moment in history. The image depicts the British steamer Scian under attack by a band of Chinese pirates while en route to Hong Kong. As the ship sailed through treacherous waters, these audacious pirates boarded it before departure. For an hour-long journey filled with tension and fear, the pirates cunningly directed the helmsman towards a secluded spot on the Chinese coast. Meanwhile, their comrades looted both passengers and ship alike. Upon reaching a wild-looking bay, they swiftly transferred their ill-gotten gains onto lifeboats and made their way ashore. The artwork serves as an illustration for Courier Sunday from December 3-10 in 1922. It showcases Achille Beltrame's incredible talent as an Italian illustrator known for his evocative storytelling abilities. In this scene of chaos and danger, we witness brave sailors fighting against ruthless pirates armed with guns and revolvers. The battle unfolds on deck amidst crashing waves and turbulent seas—a true confrontation between good and evil. "The Last Pirates" not only offers us a glimpse into this harrowing event but also highlights the courage of those who fought back against piracy during that era. This historical piece reminds us of humanity's enduring spirit even in times of great peril.
