EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of Captain John Avery, the infamous English buccaneer of the late 17th century. The colorized portrait brings to life the adventurous spirit and audacity that defined Avery's piracy career. The caption accompanying this artwork tells an extraordinary tale: "Captain John Avery taking the Great Moguls ship". It recounts how Avery and his crew successfully captured two significant vessels in the Indian Ocean - the Ganj-i-Sawai, belonging to Emperor Aurangzeb of the Moghul Empire, and its escort ship, Fateh Muhammed. This daring feat solidified Avery's reputation as one of history's most notorious pirates. The image not only provides a glimpse into pirate lore but also offers insights into historical events. It highlights the clash between European buccaneers and powerful Asian empires during this era. The mention of Long Ben, another renowned pirate active at that time, adds depth to this fascinating narrative. With its meticulous detail and vibrant colors, this engraving is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It serves as a window into an era when piracy was rife on the high seas, capturing our imagination with tales of adventure and danger.
