EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Morgan le Flibustier in all his glory. Taken from the pages of "Histoire des pirates et corsaires de l'Ocean et de la Mediterranee" by P. Christian, this 17th-century portrait is a testament to the allure and mystique surrounding this notorious corsair. Intriguingly depicted as a courtesan, Morgan exudes an air of confidence and sophistication that belies his tumultuous life at sea. The finely detailed engraving brings out every nuance of his character, from the intensity in his eyes to the subtle smirk on his lips. The inclusion of alcoholism as a theme adds another layer to this portrayal, shedding light on the darker aspects of Morgan's existence. It serves as a reminder that even those who live extraordinary lives are not immune to personal struggles. As we delve into the history behind this image, we discover Sir Henry Morgan's fascinating journey from being a privateer to becoming one of history's most infamous pirates. His exploits in pillaging ships and coastal towns have become legendary tales passed down through generations. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography skillfully captures both the essence and complexity of Morgan le Flibustier. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the enigmatic charm and undeniable charisma possessed by this larger-than-life figure from centuries past.
