EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Walking the plank" takes us back to the thrilling world of pirates as depicted in Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates. Published by Harper & Bros in 1921, this print showcases Pyle's exceptional talent for storytelling through art. The scene is set on a pirate ship sailing through treacherous Caribbean waters. A group of menacing buccaneers stands at the edge of the vessel, their weapons gleaming under the harsh sunlight. In front of them, a terrified figure balances precariously on a wooden plank that extends over the vast expanse of sea below. Punishment awaits this unfortunate soul who has fallen into disfavor with these ruthless pirates. The threat is palpable as we witness his desperate struggle for survival against all odds. Will he be pushed off into oblivion or find an unlikely escape? Pyle's intricate engraving technique brings every detail to life – from the weathered planks beneath their feet to each ripple in the water below. This print not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of piracy's dark and dangerous allure during its heyday. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported into an era filled with adventure, treasure hunts, and high-seas drama – where danger lurks around every corner and survival depends on wit and courage alone.
