Titled simply PIRATE, this c1899 photoprint has a caption card that traces it to sailboats, which suggests the title may name a single vessel rather than a person. C.E. Bolles issued it under number 1106, and the record notes that its details are unverified, so the exact scene remains uncertain. Photoprints like this were widely sold around the turn of the century as inexpensive views of boats and waterfront life, and they often reward a close look at the rigging and the crews aboard.
