EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a historic encounter between Thomas Tew and New York Governor Benjamin Fletcher in 1694. As depicted in the engraving from Howard Pyle's "Book of Pirates Buccaneers and Marooners of the Spanish Main" this momentous meeting showcases the convergence of political power and piracy during that era. On the left side of the image stands Thomas Tew, an infamous pirate known for his audacious exploits on the high seas. Dressed in rugged attire, he exudes an air of confidence as he engages in conversation with Governor Benjamin Fletcher. The governor, adorned in regal attire befitting his position, listens intently to Tew's words. This intriguing interaction hints at a complex relationship between pirates and authorities during that time. Perhaps they discussed matters related to maritime trade or even potential alliances against common enemies. The presence of tobacco pipes suggests a shared moment of relaxation amidst their discussions. Howard Pyle's masterful illustration transports us back to this pivotal moment in history when piracy was rampant along the Spanish Main. It serves as a reminder that even those deemed malefactors could find themselves engaged in diplomatic exchanges with influential figures like Governor Fletcher. Preserved within private collections, this remarkable artwork by Giancarlo Costa continues to captivate viewers today, offering glimpses into a bygone era filled with adventure and intrigue.
