EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing scene from the timeless tale of Robinson Crusoe. In this colourful lithograph, we are transported to a moment where Crusoe engages in trade with Chinese merchants. The image, created by Joseph Finnemore and part of a private collection, captures the essence of cultural exchange and adventure. The vibrant colours bring to life the bustling marketplace in China, as Crusoe navigates through a sea of Asian faces. The depiction highlights the diversity and richness of Asian ethnicity while emphasizing the significance of trade between different cultures during the early 20th century. Robinson Crusoe himself stands out amidst the crowd, his presence commanding attention as he negotiates with these exotic merchants. As a fictional character brought to life by Daniel Defoe's pen, Crusoe represents both wonder and monstrosity - a complex figure who embodies human resilience in challenging circumstances. This lithograph serves as a visual testament to literature's power to transport us across time and space. It invites viewers to delve into Robinson Crusoe's world - one filled with adventure, exploration, and encounters with people from diverse backgrounds.
