EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, specifically to the year 1964 when it was colorised. It features a wood engraving from "A History of Wood Engraving" by Douglas Percy Bliss, showcasing an iconic scene from Daniel Defoe's timeless novel, Robinson Crusoe. The print depicts a man standing on a deserted island, holding his hat in one hand and a musket in the other. Dressed in British attire of that era, he exudes resilience and determination amidst his shipwrecked predicament. The image beautifully captures the essence of adventure and survival as Robinson Crusoe navigates through this fictional tale. The intricate details of the woodcut bring life to this historical moment, transporting us into an era where sailing ships ruled the seas and warfare was ever-present.

This particular print serves as a testament to both Defoe's literary genius and Bliss' skillful interpretation through wood engraving.
