In this print titled "Death of Davis, the Pirate" we are transported back in time to an era of adventure and danger on the high seas. The vivid colors of the lithograph bring to life a dramatic scene from West Africa's history, capturing a pivotal moment in the demise of notorious pirate Howell Davis.

We see him surrounded by fellow pirates as they engage in a fierce battle against their adversaries. This historical artwork not only showcases African culture but also sheds light on piracy during that period.
