EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from "The Master of Ballantrae" by Robert Louis Stevenson transports us into the thrilling world of pirates and adventure on the high seas. Created by Walter Stanley Paget, a talented artist known for his ability to bring stories to life through his illustrations, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment in the novel. In this scene, we witness a heart-pounding act of punishment - walking the plank. The tension is palpable as our protagonist finds themselves at the mercy of ruthless pirates. With their hands bound and fear etched across their face, they bravely step onto the narrow wooden plank that extends over treacherous waters below. Will they sink or swim? The outcome hangs in suspense. Stevenson's historical novel is set against the backdrop of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, adding an additional layer of intrigue to this already gripping tale. As we gaze upon Paget's detailed depiction, we are transported back in time to an era filled with danger and uncertainty. This print serves as a reminder of Stevenson's masterful storytelling abilities and his knack for creating vivid worlds within his novels.
