EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Horse pursued by wolves" transports us into the thrilling world of English literature. Created by Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz, this print is based on a scene from Daniel De Foe's renowned novel, "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe". The illustration depicts a horse desperately fleeing from a pack of menacing wolves. As we delve into the story behind this artwork, we are reminded of the incredible power that literature holds in bringing fictional characters to life. Robinson Crusoe's adventures have captivated readers for centuries, and this image perfectly captures one such perilous moment in his journey. The artist's skillful hand brings depth and intensity to the scene through vibrant colors and intricate details. We can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins as we witness the horse's valiant attempt to escape its monstrous pursuers. Beyond its literary significance, this engraving also celebrates nature's raw beauty and untamed wildlife. The juxtaposition between the domesticated farm animal and these wild creatures adds an element of danger and excitement to the composition. In essence, this print serves as a testament to both Browne's artistic talent and De Foe's ability to create unforgettable characters. It invites us to explore not only their works but also our own imagination as we immerse ourselves in this enthralling visual representation of an iconic moment in English literature history.
