EDITORS COMMENTS
Crusoe Ill Reading The Bible, c1870 captures a poignant moment in the life of Robinson Crusoe, the iconic fictional character created by Daniel Defoe. In this print from Cassell, Petter and Galpin, we see Crusoe marooned on a desert island, seeking solace and guidance in his faith. The illustration beautifully portrays the isolation and vulnerability of Crusoe as he sits alone with his trusted dog by his side. His weathered face reflects years of hardship and survival amidst naval warfare and disease. Despite these challenges, Crusoe finds comfort in reading the Bible, symbolizing his unwavering devotion to Christianity. This image not only showcases the adventurous spirit of 18th-century literature but also highlights themes of resilience and determination. It reminds us that even in the most dire circumstances, one can find strength through religion. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the starkness of Crusoe's surroundings. The attention to detail brings out every line on his face and every strand of hair on his head, capturing both physical exhaustion and spiritual contemplation. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness a man who defied all odds for survival. This print serves as a testament to human endurance against adversity – an enduring reminder that hope can be found even in the most desolate places.
