About this work

This black-and-white ink illustration shows a group of rough, bearded men in period seafaring dress, with a tricorn-hatted figure at the center wielding a sword and others crowding behind him. A prone figure lies in the foreground while the crew surges forward amid smoke and raised weapons.
