EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph "Morgan at Porto Bello, 1887" transports us back to a time of adventure and lawlessness on the high seas. Created by Howard Pyle, this print captures the infamous Welsh buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan in action during his raid on the Panamanian port in 1688. In this scene, we see Morgan as a celebrated pirate captain, surrounded by his gang of ruthless outlaws. The composition exudes an air of danger and intrigue as they stand before a hidden cave, their den for planning their next plundering escapade. Pyle's detailed illustration showcases the brutal nature of piracy with its portrayal of prisoners captured by Morgan's crew. The central figure himself is depicted as a strong and commanding leader, embodying both fearlessness and cunning. This lithograph not only immortalizes one man's notorious exploits but also offers us a glimpse into the world of piracy that once thrived in the Western Hemisphere. It serves as a reminder that even in America's early days, there were those who defied societal norms and sought fortune through criminal means. "Morgan at Porto Bello" stands as an iconic representation of American history - one that delves into themes such as rebellion, power struggles, and the allure of life outside conventional boundaries.
