EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history, depicting the intense encounter between a Spanish Guarda Costa (Coastguard) and Captain Jenkins' ship. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 18th century, showcases the brutal act of boarding and cutting off Captain Jenkins' ear. The image transports us back to the year 1731 when tensions ran high between Britain and Spain during the War of Jenkins Ear. This conflict was fueled by piracy on the high seas, as depicted in this artwork. The scene unfolds with great detail, showcasing a battle-ready galleon engulfed in chaos as pirates clash with mariners. The composition exudes a sense of danger and desperation as both sides fight for control over these treacherous waters. It serves as a reminder of the perils faced by sailors during this tumultuous era. This historic photograph is part of a private collection that sheds light on an important chapter in maritime history.
