EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Avery Chasing the Great Moguls Ship" takes us back to a thrilling era of high seas and piracy. Created by an English School artist, this coloured engraving depicts the infamous Henry Avery, also known as John Avary, Long Ben, or Benjamin Bridgeman. In 1695, Avery orchestrated a daring act that would forever etch his name in pirate folklore. He targeted the Ganj-i-Sawai, a treasure ship belonging to Aurangzeb, the powerful Mughal Emperor of India. The audacious plundering of such immense wealth made Avery's exploits legendary. The image showcases the intensity of this chase on tumultuous waters. With sails billowing against a dramatic sky and waves crashing around them, both ships are locked in an exhilarating pursuit. One can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through their veins as they witness this heart-pounding moment frozen in time. This historical piece offers a glimpse into an era when pirates ruled the seas with fearless determination and cunning tactics. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with tales of adventure and rebellion against authority. Preserved within a private collection but now available for all to admire thanks to Peter Newark Historical Pictures and Bridgeman Images, this coloured engraving transports us back to an age where danger lurked at every turn and fortune awaited those bold enough to seize it.
