EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the notorious pirate Bartholomew Roberts in all his glory, surrounded by his ship and captured merchant vessels. Known as one of the most successful pirates of the 18th century, Roberts was a feared figure on the high seas.
The detailed engraving from 'A History of the Pirates' by Captain Charles Johnson brings to life the daring exploits of Roberts and his crew. The image captures the excitement and danger of piracy during this tumultuous period in history.
Roberts, whose real name was John Roberts, adopted the alias Bartholomew to strike fear into his enemies. His ruthless tactics and cunning strategies made him a legend among pirates and a nightmare for merchant ships sailing through treacherous waters.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when piracy reigned supreme on the open ocean. The intricate details of Roberts' ship and the captured vessels serve as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those who dared to challenge him.
This engraving is not just a work of art; it is a window into an era filled with adventure, danger, and intrigue. It immortalizes Bartholomew Roberts as both a hero and villain of maritime history, forever etched in our minds as one of the most infamous pirates to ever sail the seven seas.
