Description: MARINE ARTISTSLondonhistorical marine art Artist-Signed Limited Edition Print on Paper byGEOFF HUNT, P.P.R.S.M.A.(British, Contemporary)"Chasing Prize-Money: Jack Aubrey's Sophie running down a poleacre" A resolute figure in a blue coat, hat athwart, stares fixedly into the morning light following every move of his prey...Here is Geoff Hunt's own description of this wonderful image:"Aficionados of the Aubrey/Maturin series will know this scene, representing the start of Lieutenant Jack Aubrey's long run of luck, as his brig Sophie sights her very first prize and goes in hot pursuit. It is late afternoon off the Spanish Mediterranean coast; after a long chase overnight, Jack cleverly anticipates his prey's evasive change of course in the darkness, and traps her at first light. His brig is fictional; though both she and her actions are modelled otherwise exactly upon Cochrane's Speedy, Speedy had nothing like this imposing spread of stern windows. As for the poleacre, the term was applied to a variety of hull types and sizes, usually Mediterranean in origin and rigged with one or more lateen sails, but it meant only that the masts were in one piece - a pole in fact - rather than made up of several sections as are Sophie's."
