EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print captures the wild and boisterous celebration of Captain Bartholomew Roberts' pirate crew after a successful raid on the Guinea Coast of Africa in the early 18th century. Known as Black Bart, Roberts was a notorious figure in piracy, and this image showcases his rowdy crew reveling in their triumph. The scene is filled with an atmosphere of raucous merriment as men from various backgrounds come together to indulge in their spoils. The engraving depicts a group of English and Welsh pirates, united by their love for adventure and plunder. They are shown raising their tankards high, toasting to their victory while surrounded by barrels overflowing with alcohol. Amidst the chaos, one can spot Captain Bartholomew Roberts himself standing tall among his loyal comrades. He exudes an air of authority and confidence, holding a rifle firmly at his side—a symbol of both protection and intimidation. The artist skillfully captures the essence of piracy during this era through intricate details etched into each character's face: weathered expressions reflecting years spent at sea, eyes gleaming with excitement, and mischievous grins that hint at countless tales untold. This woodcut print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of piracy—an era defined by lawlessness and adventure on treacherous seas. It immortalizes Black Bart's infamous crew as they celebrate not only their latest conquest but also embody the spirit that made them legends among pirates throughout history.
