1719 Cats Crusoe Defoe Parrots Robinson
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Robinson Crusoe, the legendary protagonist of Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel. In this evocative print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we find Crusoe in the heart of his tropical island sanctuary, surrounded by his most cherished companions: his parrots and cats. Defoe's novel, considered a foundational work of English literature, tells the story of Crusoe, a castaway who, after years of isolation, rescues a man from a shipwreck and learns the value of companionship. This print, published in the late 19th or early 20th century, captures the essence of Crusoe's unique existence, with the man himself depicted in the center, clad in a simple loincloth, his face etched with the lines of a life lived close to nature. Around him, a pair of vibrant parrots perch, their feathers a riot of color against the lush, green foliage. Their beaks are open in what appears to be a friendly greeting, their eyes bright and full of curiosity. The presence of these exotic birds serves as a reminder of the far-flung corners of the world that Crusoe has encountered during his extraordinary journey. Two cats, one ginger and one black, curl up at Crusoe's feet, their eyes half-closed in contentment. These felines, domestic companions in the midst of this wild landscape, offer a poignant reminder of the comforts and familiarities of home. This print, with its intricate details and rich colors, invites us to imagine the day-to-day life of Robinson Crusoe, a man who, despite his isolation, found joy and companionship in the most unexpected of places.
