EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cottage at Largo, in which Selkirk was born" is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that takes us back to the humble beginnings of one of history's most famous castaways. This print showcases the quaint cottage where Alexander Selkirk first saw the light of day. Nestled amidst a picturesque landscape, this charming dwelling exudes an air of simplicity and tranquility. The artist has skillfully captured every intricate detail, from the thatched roof to the rustic wooden beams. It is as if we can almost hear the gentle creaking of its timeworn walls. This illustration originally appeared in Home Words magazine in 1886, adding depth to our understanding of Selkirk's early life. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when adventure awaited around every corner. Selkirk's story would later inspire Daniel Defoe's iconic novel "Robinson Crusoe" making him an enduring figure in literature. But here, within these lines etched by an unknown engraver, we witness his humble origins – a reminder that even great journeys begin with small steps. As we contemplate this enchanting scene captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only Selkirk's remarkable tale but also the beauty found within simple dwellings like "The Cottage at Largo.
