EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 18th century, depicting two notorious female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read. The print showcases their fierce personas as they stand confidently with swords in hand, ready to defend themselves against any threat that may come their way. Anne Bonny and Mary Read were not your typical women of their time. Convicted of piracy on November 28th, 1720, at a Court of Vice Admiralty held in St. Jago de la Vega, Jamaica, these audacious buccaneers defied societal norms by taking to the high seas and engaging in acts of plunder. The image captures the essence of their rebellious spirit as they don traditional pirate attire while standing aboard a ship. The details are impeccable - from the intricate engravings on their weapons to the sails billowing in the wind behind them. Their story is one filled with adventure and danger; it is a testament to their determination and resilience in a male-dominated world. This engraving serves as a reminder that even during an era when women had limited rights and opportunities, there were those who dared to defy expectations and forge their own path. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we can't help but be drawn into the mysterious world of these outlawed women who challenged conventions and left an indelible mark on history.
