Female Pirate with Sea Master by Robert Kline
Female pirate with Sea Master
Female pirate with merman art and story by Robert Kline
This is a retired pirate and Sea Master print that is limited in supply, therefore it is currently available in the following matted sizes: 5″ x 7″, 8″ x 10″ and 11″ x 14″.
This wonderful female pirate and merman art print is from a collection of Sea Maidens (mermaids), Sea Babies (mermaid babies), Sea Masters (merman), pirates, lighthouses and fairies created by renowned artist and novelist Robert Kline of St. Augustine, Florida. The lovely mermaid and pirate print has been derived from Robert’s novel The Forgotten Voyage of the H.M.S. Baci. The print is a lithograph reproduction of Robert’s original pencil and watercolor painting. It has been hand labeled and hand signed by Robert in pencil. All of the prints come with a 1/4″ foam backing and the 5×7′s, 8×10′s, 11×14′s are matted sizes so all you need is a frame and they are ready to hang on your wall! Each of the prints come with an excerpt from Robert Kline’s novel The Forgotten Voyage of H.M.S. Baci in which multiple generations of the Roberts’ family explore the seven seas in search of the world’s mermaid and merman population. The following is the excerpt for this female pirate with Sea Master print:
“It’d be a mortal sin to suffer a fool to live, a treasure to languish or a woman to remain unloved,” said Samuel Edmund Roberts more times than any could remember. He was therefore, the pirate’s pirate and the gentleman’s bane, the scourge of the rich and the heartthrob of every lonely lass. Orphaned as a youth and chased to sea as a pickpocket, Samuel Roberts excelled at every skill that set him above other pirates, and virtually soared above those who would have his head.
Every account of the rogue does, however, aver to the one weakness the most powerful man to rule the main would allow himself…Samuel Edmund Roberts was deeply and truly in love. The object was a noble woman—nearly a Nobel child when their paths crossed—who discarded her life of leisure and joined his pirate band as a consequence of her ship (her father, the lord of Nottingham’s vessel) falling victim to Samuel’s hoard. At eighteen she was beautiful, articulate, and at least six feet in height. She was strong, fast and a quick subject, a demon with the rapier and a formidable wit. Edwards fell for her immediately, to the chagrin of his crew.
This image is reputed to be of the only other male in her life, a Sea Master of reasonable form, though perhaps a bit shy of robust from the waist down.
That this is indeed Roberts’ mate is self-evident: She sports both the telling emerald topped sword and pistol, wears the coin of Samuel Edmund Roberts, realm, is of advanced stature, and is in the company of her fabled Sea Master lover, he being both subjugated and intoxicated, the manner in which she preferred her companions.
Her name has escaped historians. Samuel Edmund Roberts referred to himself as the “second mostly powerful pirate afloat,” and by all accounts his only consistent reference to her was as “the most powerful pirate, ever.”
We have no hint as to exact location of this image, it having only a scribbled date on the obverse. It is to we who document the Roberts family tree, Pirate 5 and Sea Master 1 of the Samuel Edmund Roberts saga, dated, May 8, 1661.
