This vintage print captures a captivating image of Long John Silver, the iconic fictional character from Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island". The Carreras Cigarette Card, dating back to approximately 1929, showcases this enigmatic figure in full regalia. Despite his amputated leg and reliance on crutches for mobility, Long John Silver exudes an air of confidence and balance. In this color lithograph, we see him holding a stein while making eye contact with the viewer. His attire is meticulously detailed, featuring a tricorne hat cocked to one side and traditional breeches. The multicolored design adds vibrancy to the scene as it highlights every intricate element of his clothing. The card serves as an advertisement for Carreras Ltd. , a prominent tobacco company during that era. However, beyond its commercial purpose lies an artistic representation that captures the essence of this beloved literary character. It seamlessly combines elements of commercial art and graphic design with historical accuracy. Long John Silver's presence in this image evokes intrigue and curiosity among viewers who are familiar with Stevenson's timeless tale. This transfer print offers a glimpse into Western European period style through its meticulous attention to detail in both costume and medical equipment. Overall, this full-length portrait immortalizes Long John Silver as he holds court amidst a backdrop rich in color and symbolism—a true testament to the enduring legacy of classic literature intertwined with visual artistry.
