EDITORS COMMENTS
Long John Silver: The Archetypal Pirate of the 17th Century, as Depicted in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island For generations of readers, the archetypal pirate has been embodied by the devious and malevolent character of Long John Silver, the infamous pirate captain from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel, Treasure Island. First published in 1883, the novel has since become a timeless tale of adventure, crime, and piracy, and Long John Silver's image has become synonymous with the pirate stereotype. In this evocative image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, Long John Silver is depicted with his signature silver tooth, a pistol in one hand, and a parrot perched on his shoulder. The pirate's crutch adds to his menacing appearance, as he exudes a sense of cunning and danger. The historical context of the 17th century is evident in the pirate's attire, complete with a tricorn hat, waistcoat, and breeches. Long John Silver's complex character has captivated readers for over a century, as he alternates between moments of charm and cruelty, deception and loyalty. His iconic status as a pirate villain has influenced popular culture, from films and television shows to literature and art. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Treasure Island and the archetypal pirate, Long John Silver, who continues to captivate our imaginations. Mary Evans Picture Library is a leading provider of historical and cultural images, offering a vast collection of prints and digital content for research, education, and commercial use.
