EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "I sat down and ate my dinner with them" artist Joseph Finnemore transports us into the world of Robinson Crusoe. The print, part of a private collection, captures a pivotal moment from Daniel Defoe's timeless novel. Set against the backdrop of an isolated island, we see Crusoe seated at a makeshift table alongside his newfound companions - sailors who were also victims of shipwreck. As they gather around to share a meal, their faces reflect both exhaustion and relief. It is in this simple act of breaking bread together that bonds are formed and hope is rekindled. Finnemore's attention to detail shines through in every stroke. From the weathered expressions on the characters' faces to the intricate engravings depicting various elements of life on the island, each element adds depth and richness to this scene. Robinson Crusoe remains one of literature's most wonderful and monstrous characters – simultaneously heroic and flawed. Through his adventures, readers are reminded of our own resilience in times of adversity. This lithograph not only pays homage to Defoe's iconic work but also serves as a visual testament to the power of human connection amidst isolation. It invites us to imagine ourselves sitting at that table, sharing stories and finding solace in each other's company. As we gaze upon this print by Bridgeman Images, let it serve as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always room for companionship and nourishment – both for body
