From the album: Realistic pirate art
This is a pirate captain. He wears a fine suit of clothing. From head to toes: He has a cloth cap edged with rich fur. It is based on period evidence of sailors clothing. While the fur cap might seem odd especially in the hot West- Indies in colder weather especially when at sea and when sailing in the north it would be useful. Even captain Blackbeard was described to have a fur cap in contemporary evidence. So pirate captain can really well wear one (there is even contemporary picture of Privateer Jean Bart with such hat). The Captain also possesses a nice embroidered crimson sleeved waistcoat and breeches inspired by Bart Roberts and period fashions. This captain has two pairs of pistols in his sash –it is accurate since occasional and short sashes were sometimes worn (but not the big ones that H. Pyle’s paintings are full of or many movies). He has silk socks and fine high heeled gentleman shoes. His expression and gestures indicates that he is recruiting captured sailors to join him (that is also why he is so well dressed). -
T'would seem that way back in June I made an unfortunate error and made my first post not about my goodself and from whence I hail, but about a delicious item by which my Master and I offered for sale. Although none have challenged me openly about my breach one amongst you made a pointed remark, by which I requested a reason behind the remark, to whit no answer have I justly received, but fellows of the person have apologised and I have accepted. So, I ask may I try again? I am Morgan Desiree Adams and sail under the flag of my Master, we are pryvateers of the inland waterways of the Shires in Great Britain, but we can also be found across the channel in Holland for some small moments in time through the year. Our main business in life is providing historically correct fire power to many people, my Master is a gunsmith and he makes exquisite historically correct pieces, from poleguns of 14th Century, to cannon, swivel guns and wall guns on carriages and tillers, to matchlocks and flintlocks up to and including 19th Century. We have a catalogue available for anyone who wishes to peruse our wares, our website is in the state of flux as it is being updated, or we can be reached on our email address to answer any questions you may have. We work from detailed drawings, pictures, paintings and original plans, however we don't make fantasy pieces. My Master served a long apprenticeship and still there is more to learn, he's passionate about what he does, my role keeps me firmly on board and very hands on. Our latest venture - technical information - 12g at the breech, brass barrelled is in the gallery - despite being told how to put pictures on this part, I'm afraid it is beyone me - technology ended for us at the flintlock!
