EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, on board a ship of Algerian pirates. The illustration is from "The Pirates Own Book" a collection of authentic narratives by Charles Ellms, published in Boston in 1837. The scene depicted showcases the thrilling life of these notorious sea robbers. We see a large vessel with billowing sails, anchored amidst choppy waters. The ship's deck is bustling with activity as fierce-looking pirates go about their daily tasks. Some are seen hoisting barrels and crates onto the ship while others engage in animated conversations. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of this dangerous world through intricate details. Each pirate exudes an air of mystery and danger, dressed in traditional North African attire that reflects their cultural heritage. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless battles fought at sea. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to an era when piracy was rampant along the coastlines of Africa. It serves as a reminder that history is not always glamorous or romanticized; it often reveals darker aspects of human nature. This artwork by Giancarlo Costa allows us to delve into the fascinating world of maritime piracy and invites us to imagine ourselves on board that very ship, surrounded by fearless adventurers who lived outside societal norms - forever etched in history as legends or outlaws depending on one's perspective.
