EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Captain Henry Morgan at the sack of Panama in 1671" offers a glimpse into the daring life of one of history's most notorious pirates. Created by Thomas Nicholls in 1734, this print showcases Captain Henry Morgan, a Welsh privateer who later became the Governor of Jamaica. In this half-length portrait, we see Captain Morgan exuding an air of authority and confidence. His piercing gaze and stern expression speak volumes about his leadership skills and determination. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this celebrated buccaneer. The scene depicted here is from one of Captain Morgan's most audacious exploits - the attack on Panama in 1671. As leader of a formidable fleet, he set sail to plunder the Spanish colony with his crew. The image shows burning ships in the background as evidence of their successful raid. Captain Henry Morgan was both revered and reviled for his acts of piracy during this era. While some saw him as a criminal outlaw and rogue, others admired him for his strategic brilliance and ability to amass great wealth through plundering enemy vessels. This engraving serves as a reminder not only of Captain Morgan's infamous legacy but also as a testament to an era when piracy ruled the Caribbean seas. It offers us an intriguing glimpse into history while showcasing Thomas Nicholls' artistic talent in capturing such an iconic figure from that time period.
