Dating back over 300 years, these charming yet menacing engravings were originally published in A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates (1724), a collection of highly treasured tales that blur the line between historical fact and historical fiction. Author Captain Charles Johnson (a name widely considered to be a pseudonym) detailed the infamous high-seas adventures of legendary characters such as "Blackbeard" Edward Teach, "Calico Jack" John Rackham, the "Gentleman Pirate" Stede Bonnet, female pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and many more.

The popular book released ever-expanding editions, capturing an audience that included Robert Louis Stevenson (Treasure Island) and J. M. Barrie (Peter Pan), who further pushed the boundaries of historical literature vs. historical fantasy. Scholars have repeatedly questioned the accuracy A General History's near-mythical tales, and the true identity of Captain Charles Johnson is contested to this day.
