EDITORS COMMENTS
The boarders swarmed over the fence like monkeys, an illustration from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, captures a thrilling moment of adventure and danger. This vibrant colour lithograph print by Wyeth, Newell Convers brings to life the iconic scene from Charles Scribners Sons' 1911 edition of the beloved children's book. In this image, we witness a group of pirates and mutineers launching a daring attack on their enemies. With weapons in hand and determination in their eyes, they scale the stockade's palisade with agility reminiscent of agile monkeys. The tension is palpable as they breach the boundaries that separate them from their prize. The Brandywine School artist skillfully depicts every detail - from the expressions on each character's face to the texture of their clothing - immersing us into this gripping tale. Through his masterful use of color and composition, he transports us into Stevenson's world where danger lurks at every turn. This print serves as a reminder of the power that literature holds in igniting our imagination and taking us on extraordinary journeys. It evokes memories for those who have read Treasure Island or introduces newcomers to its timeless allure. As part of The Stapleton Collection within Bridgeman Images' private collection, this artwork showcases not only Wyeth's talent but also preserves an important piece of American literary history.
