1883 Crutch Stevenson Treasure
EDITORS COMMENTS
Long John Silver, the iconic pirate character created by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, comes to life in this 1883 photograph. The image depicts a man, believed to be the inspiration for the literary pirate, sitting on a rocky shore with a treasured chest at his feet and a silver-handled crutch by his side. Dressed in a worn pirate coat and hat, a pipe clenched between his teeth, the man exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Long John Silver first appeared in Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island," published in 1883, and quickly became one of the most famous pirate characters in literature. The author based the character on a real-life pirate named John Silver, who reportedly had a silver-colored hand. The historical John Silver is believed to have lived in the late 17th or early 18th century and was a notorious pirate operating in the Caribbean. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating connection to the history of piracy and the inspiration behind a beloved literary character. The image captures the essence of Long John Silver's pirate persona, complete with a menacing gun slung over his shoulder and a treasure chest filled with gold and jewels. The rugged island setting further adds to the pirate's allure and sense of adventure. Whether you're a fan of pirate stories, literature, or history, this photograph is a must-see. It offers a unique and intriguing look into the past and the inspiration behind one of the most enduring and beloved characters in literature. So take a moment to imagine yourself on a deserted island with Long John Silver, a treasure chest, and a pipe full of tobacco – the perfect recipe for a swashbuckling adventure.
