EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1848 depicts Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who served as the inspiration for Daniel Defoe's iconic character Robinson Crusoe. Selkirk's incredible story unfolded in the early 18th century when he was discovered on Mas-a-Tierra, an island within the Juan Fernandez archipelago off the coast of Chile. Having lived alone since 1704, Selkirk caught the attention of passing sailors by signaling with fire from the seashore in 1709. The image showcases Selkirk standing on a picturesque beach, surrounded by rugged cliffs and crashing waves. His solitary figure is juxtaposed against the vastness of his desert island home. In one hand, he holds a rifle while smoke billows up into the sky from a fire he has lit to attract attention. The engraving beautifully captures both the isolation and resilience that defined Selkirk's remarkable survival tale. It serves as a visual testament to human endurance and resourcefulness in even the most challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of Alexander Selkirk's indomitable spirit and his enduring legacy through literature. His extraordinary journey continues to captivate our imaginations centuries later, reminding us of humanity's innate ability to adapt and overcome adversity.
