EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the infamous Henry Morgan, a Welsh pirate and buccaneer who left an indelible mark on maritime history. Known for his audacious acts of piracy, Morgan plundered Spain's Caribbean colonies with the tacit support of the English government during the 17th century. Not content with harassing Spain alone, he also turned his sights towards Dutch territories during the Anglo-Dutch War from 1665 to 1667. In a remarkable feat, Morgan captured Panama in 1671 after a peace agreement was reached with Spain. However, his daring exploits eventually caught up with him as he was arrested and sent to London for trial. To everyone's surprise, Charles II knighted him upon arrival and even appointed him as deputy governor of Jamaica. The engraved image published in 1741 perfectly captures this enigmatic figure whose life straddled both crime and recognition by British authorities. It serves as a testament to Morgan's notoriety within the world of piracy and his subsequent rise within colonial governance. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of Henry Morgan's complex legacy - an emblematic figure who defied conventions while simultaneously being embraced by those in power. This print offers us a glimpse into an era where pirates roamed freely across vast oceans, leaving behind tales that continue to captivate our imagination today.
