EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Who shall be captain?", artist George Alfred Williams takes us on a thrilling journey into the world of pirates and sea rovers. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for "The Boys Book of Pirates and the Great Sea Rovers" written and illustrated by Williams himself in 1913. Set against a picturesque beach backdrop, we witness a scene filled with tension and anticipation. A group of buccaneers gathers around two fierce rivals who are vying for the coveted title of captain. With their eyes locked in determination, they prepare to engage in a deadly duel that will determine their fate. Williams skillfully captures the essence of piracy through his attention to detail. From the weathered faces of these outlaws to the intricately designed ships anchored nearby, every element contributes to an atmosphere charged with danger and adventure. As spectators watch from afar, fully aware that death might befall one or both contenders, it becomes clear that this is not just any competition; it is a championship among criminals seeking dominance over the treacherous seas. This artwork transports us back to an era where piracy reigned supreme—a time when duels were fought for honor and power. Through this print, Williams invites us to imagine ourselves amidst these swashbuckling adventures while reminding us that even within such lawless realms, there exists hierarchy and rivalry among those who sail under black flags.
