EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the timeless tale of Robinson Crusoe. In this vividly colored lithograph, created by Felicien baron de Myrbach-Rheinfeld in 1930, we witness the resourceful protagonist constructing his first dwelling on the deserted island where he is stranded. Robinson Crusoe's determination and ingenuity are palpable as he labors to build a shelter from scratch. With a sturdy trunk serving as his foundation, he skillfully arranges timber logs to form the walls of his humble abode. The image exudes an aura of isolation and resilience, highlighting both the challenges and triumphs faced by Crusoe during his solitary existence. Daniel Defoe's iconic character comes alive through this artwork, reminding us of the enduring power of literature. As one gazes upon this scene, it is impossible not to be drawn into Robinson Crusoe's world – a realm where survival instincts intertwine with human spirit. The lithograph serves as a testament to DeFoe's genius as a writer and showcases Baron de Myrbach-Rheinfeld's talent for capturing narrative moments visually. This piece invites us to reflect on themes such as home, shelter, and construction while immersing ourselves in the extraordinary journey of an ordinary man. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print remains an evocative tribute to Daniel Defoe’s unforgettable creation – Robinson Crusoe: a wonderful yet monstrous character who continues to captivate readers across generations.
