EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Sphere magazine, dated April 16, 1922, showcases an illustration by Fortunino Matania of a scene from the popular play, "Treasure Island," which was performed at the prestigious Strand Theatre in London during that year. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel, with Long John Silver (portrayed by Arthur Bourchier) at the center, surrounded by a group of menacing pirates. Long John Silver, the infamous pirate captain, is depicted here with his signature parrot on his shoulder, holding a map of the hidden treasure island, as he addresses his crew with a cunning smile. The pirates, with their menacing expressions and swords in hand, are poised to follow their leader into the unknown waters. The intricate details in Fortunino Matania's illustration bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the world of piracy and adventure that captivated audiences during the early 20th century. The play, which was based on Stevenson's novel, was a huge success at the Strand Theatre, with Arthur Bourchier's portrayal of Long John Silver receiving critical acclaim. This front cover of The Sphere magazine is a testament to the enduring popularity of "Treasure Island" and the power of live theatre to bring classic stories to life on the stage. Fortunino Matania's illustration remains a visual masterpiece, capturing the imagination of audiences even today.
