Something a little different here with a charming Pirate map designed by Darby Harbold in 1938. Back to the days of fearless pirates who roamed the oceans in their ships festooned with cutlasses, parrots, wooden legs and the feared skull and cross bones of the Jolly Roger! Eager to hunt down and claim their booty of Dubloons from the Spanish gold ships and perhaps hide their ill-gotten gains on a treasure island where X marks the spot. Heroes to some, scoundrels to others the Pirate's way of life was a whirlwind of swashbuckling adventure laced with rum.
This wonderful pictorial map captures the exploits of famous or should that be infamous pirates such as Blackbeard, Sir Henry Morgan, Lafitte to name a few. Much of the piracy centred around the Caribbean which has given rise to a certain famous movie franchise so entitled! All the romance of this period is shown in this stylishly informative map.
This is a highly sought-after work and is sure to form an interesting conversation piece to any living room. This piece looks stunning mounted as shown in our 20" x 16" framed edition.
