The woodblock print titled *Blackbeard's Quest* masterfully depicts legendary pirate Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, on a treasure hunting adventure. The work is crafted on a textured wood panel and uses layering to evoke the mystery and allure of the golden age of piracy.

Foreground:
Blackbeard stands prominently in the foreground, his imposing presence brought to life as an engraved image on a movable wooden door. His infamous black beard is depicted with intricate detail.

In the middle ground, a treasure map with octopus and treasure chest is the central focus of the composition. The map is carefully overlaid with sepia tones, creating the illusion of old parchment. The map's intricate details - marked routes, mysterious symbols and hidden coves - are subtly etched into the wood, inviting the viewer to trace the journey themselves. This layering technique creates depth and hints at the many paths and secrets hidden within.

The headboard is depicted as a plank, on which are real coins (replicas) and the flag of his ship “Queen Anne’s Revenge.

*Blackbeard's Quest* is a captivating woodblock print/engraving that combines history, legend and artistry. The layered textures and intricate details draw the viewer into the world of piracy, where adventure and danger are just a heartbeat away. A testament to the enduring appeal of one of history's most notorious pirates, this piece captures his spirit and eternal search for hidden riches.
