EDITORS COMMENTS
This late 19th-century lantern slide depicts a pivotal moment from the classic novel "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe. In the image, Robinson Crusoe (the stranded protagonist) is shown in the act of disembarking from a ship onto a raft. The scene is a visual representation of Crusoe's decision to leave his old life behind and embark on a journey of self-discovery and survival. The image is part of the extensive Boswell Collection, which holds a wealth of historical and cultural significance. The collection, which dates back to the 1890s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Defoe's novel and the power of storytelling. The slide, produced during the lantern slide era, showcases the intricate details of the scene, from the textured sails of the ship to the lifelike portrayal of Crusoe's determined expression. The muted colors and delicate shading add to the nostalgic charm of the image, transporting us back in time to an era when stories were told through the medium of lantern slides. The image offers a glimpse into the rich literary and historical heritage of the 18th century, providing a visual representation of one of the most iconic characters in English literature. This slide is not only a valuable addition to any collection of historical images but also a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the adventures of Robinson Crusoe.
