EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Robinson Crusoe: The huts on fire" transports viewers into the dramatic world of Daniel Defoe's iconic novel. Created by Joseph Finnemore in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a pivotal moment in the story. The image depicts a scene of chaos and danger as flames engulf Robinson Crusoe's huts. The vibrant colours bring to life the destructive power of fire, with fiery reds and oranges dominating the composition. Smoke billows into the sky, creating an atmosphere of urgency and desperation. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the four elements that shape our existence - earth, air, water, and fire. Fire is both mesmerizing and terrifying; it can provide warmth and sustenance but also destroy everything in its path. Here, it represents not only physical destruction but also symbolizes the challenges faced by Crusoe throughout his solitary journey. Finnemore's illustration captures the essence of Robinson Crusoe as a character who endures unimaginable hardships yet remains resilient against all odds. This fictional hero becomes even more extraordinary through this visual interpretation. Through this powerful image, we are invited to delve deeper into Defoe's literary masterpiece while appreciating Finnemore's artistic talent in bringing these words to life. It serves as a reminder that great stories have no boundaries or limitations – they continue to inspire generations long after their creation.
