EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Turtle Fishing" takes us back to the year 1571, on the shores of Saint-Domingue (modern Haiti) in the Caribbean. The image is an illustration from the renowned book Histoire Generale des Antilles Habitees par les Francais by Jean-Baptiste du Tertre. In this scene, a group of buccaneers can be seen engaging in their unique method of turtle fishing. Only men are present, rowing a small boat with great determination and skill. Their focus is solely on capturing these magnificent creatures that inhabit the surrounding waters. Adding an element of intrigue to this composition is a vibrant parrot perched upon one of the pirate's shoulders. This exotic bird serves as a reminder of both the diverse animal life found in this region and perhaps even hints at hidden treasures awaiting discovery. The artist masterfully captures early pirate themes within this landscape format photograph, transporting viewers to an era filled with adventure and uncertainty. The attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such scenes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection, it evokes curiosity about our past and reminds us how art can transport us through time, allowing us glimpses into worlds long gone.
