EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Captain Rogers People stripping some Ladies of their Jewels in the Neighbourhood of Guiaquil" takes us back to the 18th century, immersing us in a scene filled with adventure and intrigue. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a defining moment from Woodes Rogers' eventful life. Woodes Rogers, known as both a privateer and colonial governor, is depicted here leading his crew on an audacious act of piracy. In this particular incident that occurred in 1765 near Guiaquil, Ecuador, Captain Rogers' men are seen stripping unsuspecting ladies of their precious jewels. This depiction offers a glimpse into the daring exploits and lawless nature associated with pirate life during this era. The engraving was originally featured in Edward Cavendish Drake's publication called "A New Universal Collection of Authentic and Entertaining Voyages and Travels". It serves as an illustration for one of Woodes Rogers' most notable adventures - his encounter with Alexander Selkirk. This fateful meeting between the two men inspired Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. As we observe this historical artwork today, it transports us to a time when male adventurers like Captain Rogers roamed the seas seeking fortune and glory while leaving tales behind that continue to captivate our imaginations.
