EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Friday bows down at the feet of Robinson Crusoe, 1842" takes us back to the enchanting world of Daniel de Foe's famous novel. Created by Auguste Souze in the mid-19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story where Friday, a native character, pays homage to his heroic master. The composition is rich with symbolism and emotion. Friday is depicted on bended knee before Robinson Crusoe, showcasing his loyalty and reverence towards him. The intricate details bring their characters to life - from Crusoe's rugged appearance as a seasoned adventurer to Friday's humble demeanor as an indigenous man. The book cover itself adds another layer of intrigue. Translated by Daniel de Foe and published in 1842 by Mame Editions, it became an instant classic that continues to captivate readers today. This illustration serves as a visual representation of the deep cultural impact that Robinson Crusoe had on society during its time. With its European origins (France specifically), this artwork also highlights the fascination with exotic cultures prevalent during the 19th century. It sheds light on themes such as colonialism and idol worship while providing insight into societal attitudes towards different civilizations. Overall, this print stands as a testament to both artistic skill and literary significance. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes of heroism, cultural exchange, and human connection across time periods and continents
