EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of pirate stamps issued by Grenada in 1970. Created using the vibrant technique of colour lithography, these stamps were crafted by the talented West Indian School. The private collector who possesses this remarkable piece has graciously allowed it to be shared with the world. The stamp design features four notorious pirates, each occupying a corner of the image. Starting from the top left and moving clockwise, we have Mary Read (c. 1695-1721), Anne Bonny (1698-1782), Blackbeard (originally Edward Teach) (d. 1718), and Jean Lafitte (c. 1780-c. 1826). These infamous buccaneers were known for their audacious exploits in the Caribbean during an era when piracy ran rampant. The stamps beautifully depict these rogues alongside their weapons, evoking a sense of danger and adventure that defined their lives on the high seas. With Queen Elizabeth II's profile gracing each stamp as a symbol of authority, they served as both postage and historical artifacts. These pirate stamps not only pay homage to an era filled with lawlessness but also serve as reminders of our fascination with outlaws and criminals throughout history. Their inclusion within personal mailings would undoubtedly add intrigue to any recipient's mailbox. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this stunning print captures the essence of piracy in all its glory while remaining true to its original form—an invaluable addition to any art enthusiast or history lover's
