EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical figure Robert Jenkins, an English mariner whose ear was infamously cut off by Spanish captain Fandino in Havana, 1731. The image captures a significant moment in history when Jenkins boldly displayed his severed ear to Robert Walpole in 1738. This shocking act ultimately led to the eruption of the War of Jenkins Ear (1739-1748) between Spain and England. The contemporary English engraving beautifully portrays Jenkins as a resilient sailor, standing tall despite the gruesome incident he endured. His determination is palpable as he confronts Walpole, seeking justice for his brutal mistreatment at the hands of the Spanish captain. In this thought-provoking image, we witness two powerful men from different nations locked in a tense exchange that would have far-reaching consequences. The intensity and gravity of their interaction are brilliantly captured through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship. As viewers delve into this remarkable piece of art, they are transported back to a time when international tensions were high and individual acts could spark wars. It serves as a reminder that seemingly small incidents can have profound impacts on world events. This extraordinary print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind its creation and its historical significance as it immortalizes an event that forever altered relations between Spain and England during this tumultuous period.
