EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the infamous Jean Lafitte, a privateer and smuggler who operated in New Orleans during the 19th century. The portrait depicts Lafitte with his arms crossed, exuding an air of mystery and notoriety. Jean Lafitte's story is one of intrigue and adventure. Known as a pirate chief, he was granted a pardon for his assistance to General Andrew Jackson during the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, which took place during the War of 1812 between the United States and the British Empire. The artist behind this remarkable print is R. Telfer from the 19th century, whose attention to detail brings out every aspect of Lafitte's character.

It serves as a reminder that even those deemed criminals can play unexpected roles in shaping significant events. Peter Newark American Pictures has preserved this timeless image through their expertise in archiving historical artwork.
