EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece and title page for "The Life and Actions of Moll Flanders" by Daniel Defoe, published in 1723. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century, is now part of a private collection. Interestingly, this particular edition is considered a pirate version as it was published by Thomas Read just one year after the novel's official release in 1722. This abridged version boasts intricate cuts that are perfectly suited to each chapter, as described by Read himself. "Moll Flanders" is a remarkable picaresque novel that vividly depicts the rise and fall of a woman living in 17th century England.
