EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the infamous pirate Bartholomew Roberts, accompanied by his formidable ships Royal Fortune and Ranger. The image depicts a significant moment in history when Roberts and his crew successfully captured 11 ships off the Guinea coast of Africa in 1722. The line engraving, created by an English artist in 1724, beautifully captures the essence of this maritime adventure. Standing proudly on the deck of one of his vessels, Captain Roberts exudes authority and confidence with his coat billowing in the wind. His sword at his side symbolizes both power and danger. The composition skillfully portrays the early fashion of that era - from Robert's hat to the attire worn by other men aboard these sailing ships. The vast ocean stretches out behind them, emphasizing their daring exploits on treacherous waters. This artwork is not just a mere depiction; it transports us back to a time when piracy was rampant along coastal regions. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Bartholomew Roberts challenged societal norms and became legends through their audacious actions. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intentions but rather as an opportunity for viewers to appreciate historical artistry and delve into stories that shaped our past.
