EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the golden age of piracy in the West Indies. The image showcases the infamous pirate Jack Rackham, also known as Calico Jack, alongside two formidable women flibustiers, Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Dressed in their striking pirate attire, these buccaneers exude an air of adventure and rebellion. Their vibrant costumes are meticulously depicted in this plate taken from "The old and modern costume" by Giulio Ferrario, published in Milan between 1819-1820. Calico Jack's red hair stands out against his dark clothing as he confidently brandishes a sword. His presence commands attention while hinting at his audacious nature on the high seas. Anne Bonny and Mary Read stand beside him with equal determination. These fierce women challenge societal norms by embracing a life of piracy and proving that they are just as capable as any man on board a ship. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment through his artistry. The composition evokes intrigue and curiosity about the lives these pirates led during a time when colonialism was rampant in the Caribbean. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the legends that surround these figures who defied authority and pursued freedom on their own terms. It serves as a reminder that history is filled with extraordinary individuals who dared to live outside society's boundaries.
