1719 Crusoe Defoe Dressed Gear Robinson Made
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Daniel Defoe's legendary character, Robinson Crusoe, in the midst of his daily struggle for survival on his deserted island. Dressed in his home-made clothing and armed with his trusty hunting gear, Crusoe is focused intently on the task at hand - providing sustenance for himself. The year is 1719, and Defoe's groundbreaking novel, "Robinson Crusoe," has been published for over five decades, captivating readers with its tale of adventure, self-reliance, and resilience. Crusoe's appearance in this print reflects the historical accuracy of Defoe's writing, as he is depicted wearing a simple yet effective ensemble made from the materials he has found on the island. The rough, brown coat, fashioned from the hides of the animals he has hunted, is fastened with crude buttons made from seashells. His trousers, also made from animal hides, are held up by a length of rope. A wide-brimmed hat shields his face from the sun, and a pair of sturdy leather boots protect his feet. In his hands, Crusoe holds a longbow and a quiver full of arrows, the fruits of his labor and skill. The bow, crafted from the wood of the island, is strung with sinew, and the arrows are tipped with sharp flint. The expression on Crusoe's face is one of determination and focus, as he scans the surrounding jungle for signs of game. This evocative print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the world of Robinson Crusoe, a world of survival, self-reliance, and the indomitable human spirit. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of Defoe's novel, and a reminder of the power of the written word to transport us to another time and place.
