EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marie Read, a notorious woman pirate of the 18th century. Born in London, she defied societal norms and embarked on a life filled with adventure and danger on the high seas. The image is taken from "Histoire des pirages et corsaires de l'Ocean et de la Mediterranee" by P. Christian, published in Paris in 1847. Marie Read's story is one of courage and rebellion against the constraints imposed upon women during her time. She fearlessly sailed across treacherous waters, commanding her own ship as a formidable corsair. This engraving captures her essence perfectly - an enigmatic smile playing on her lips as she gazes into the distance, exuding confidence and strength. The French School artist who created this portrait skillfully brings out Marie Read's striking features and determined expression. The attention to detail highlights every intricate line engraved onto the paper, making it an exquisite piece of art that transports us back to a bygone era. Preserved within a private collection for years, this rare find offers us a glimpse into Marie Read's extraordinary life as well as serves as a testament to women who dared to challenge societal norms centuries ago. Leonard de Selva expertly photographed this historical gem, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. As we admire this remarkable portrayal of Marie Read, let us celebrate her legacy as an emblematic figure who defied expectations and blazed her own trail amidst turbulent times at sea.
