EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the meeting of two historical figures that would go on to inspire one of the most famous adventure novels of all time. Daniel Defoe, the renowned English writer, encounters Alexandre Selkirk, the Scottish sailor who survived four and a half years on a deserted island.
It is fascinating to think that this real-life encounter would serve as the inspiration for Defoe's fictional character Robinson Crusoe. The meeting in a London cabaret must have been filled with tales of survival and adventure, sparking the creative genius in Defoe to bring Selkirk's story to life in his novel.
As we gaze upon this engraving from "Literary and Historical Talks" by Jules Janin, we are transported back to the 17th century when these two men crossed paths. Their meeting not only shaped literary history but also immortalized Selkirk's incredible tale of resilience and survival.
This print serves as a reminder of how real-life experiences can inspire great works of fiction. It captures a moment in time where fact meets fiction, creating a timeless story that continues to captivate readers around the world.
