1883 Doctor Isle Livesey Stevenson Stockade Treasure
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, first published in 1883, depicts the iconic moment from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel "Treasure Island" where Doctor Livesey (left) and Long John Silver (right) stand at the stockade, their faces etched with determination and tension. The scene unfolds as the group of pirate prisoners, led by the cunning Long John Silver, are held captive within the makeshift fortification, constructed to ensure their containment and prevent any further mischief. Doctor Livesey, a steadfast and resourceful character, is shown here in his medical capacity, armed with a pistol, ensuring the safety of the group. Long John Silver, the enigmatic and infamous pirate, is portrayed with a sly smile, hinting at his cunning and manipulative nature. The stockade, a symbol of the struggle between good and evil, stands as a testament to the precarious balance of power on Treasure Island. This photograph, taken from a book illustration, offers a glimpse into the rich literary history of Stevenson's masterpiece, which has captivated readers for generations. The image's timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a world of adventure, intrigue, and suspense, where the line between hero and villain is often blurred. The photograph's historical significance is further emphasized by its early publication date, as it was first introduced to the public over a century ago. Today, it remains an enduring reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the pirate genre.
