EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Alexander Selkirk and the dancing goats" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. The image depicts a scene filled with curiosity, wonder, and a touch of whimsy. In this illustration for Ten Thousand Wonderful Things, we are transported to an extraordinary moment in history. Alexander Selkirk, famously known as the inspiration behind Robinson Crusoe, takes center stage alongside a group of lively young goats. As they dance together with choreographed precision, their movements exude both grace and playfulness. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these farm animals turned performers. Their wild energy is palpable as they leap through the air with joyous abandon. It's almost as if they have momentarily shed their earthly constraints to revel in this enchanting spectacle. This engraving not only showcases the talent of its creator but also transports us back in time to an era where imagination reigned supreme. It reminds us that even within historical narratives or fictional tales like Robinson Crusoe's adventures on a deserted island, there exists room for magical moments such as dancing goats. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but be captivated by its charm and timeless appeal. It serves as a delightful reminder that art has the power to transport us beyond reality into realms where anything is possible – even dancing goats!
