About this work

A black and white engraved illustration by Howard Pyle, dated 1887, shows a blindfolded man in a dark coat stepping out along a plank extended over the side of a wooden sailing ship. A group of crew members in hats and bandanas watch from the deck while rigging and sails rise above, with choppy sea visible below.
