Landing Negroes at Jamestown from Dutch Man-of-War, 1619
This imagined image shows a group of emaciated captives on shore, surrounded by Dutch sailors with a slave ship in the background. Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was an American illustrator and author, primarily for young people. He is credited with creating what has become the modern stereotype of pirate dress.
