EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the iconic moment from Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel "Tarzan of the Apes," where the eponymous hero, Tarzan, stands defiantly before a roaring lion in the heart of the African jungle. Published in 1920, Burroughs' tale of the "ape-man" captured the imagination of readers around the world and established Tarzan as a cultural icon. The illustration, created in the early 20th century, is a testament to the rich history of book jacket design and the enduring appeal of Tarzan's story. The jacket art, featuring Tarzan in his loincloth, muscles taut and eyes fixed on the lion, conveys the raw power and primal energy of both the man and the beast. The lush jungle setting, with its vibrant greenery and exotic wildlife, transports us to a time and place far removed from our modern world. The illustration also highlights the role of illustrations in bringing literary works to life and making them accessible to a wider audience. In the early days of publishing, before the widespread use of photography, illustrations were a crucial component of book design, helping to attract readers and bring the stories to life in their minds. This untamed scene from the jungles of Africa, with Tarzan and the lion locked in a tense standoff, is a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the role that illustrations play in shaping our understanding of classic literary works. Whether you're a fan of Tarzan, a collector of vintage book jackets, or simply someone who appreciates the art of illustration, this print is a must-have addition to any collection.
