EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "Watching the Savages" takes us on a thrilling journey back to the 18th century. Inspired by Daniel Defoe's timeless novel, Robinson Crusoe, this scene captures the essence of adventure and survival. Shipwrecked and castaway on a remote island, our protagonist finds himself hidden among palm trees as he observes native inhabitants from afar. The flickering fire illuminates their faces against the backdrop of a moonlit beach. With bated breath, he watches their every move, unsure whether they pose a threat or hold potential for companionship. The image transports us to an era when literature was filled with tales of exploration and discovery. It reminds us of the power that storytelling has in shaping our understanding of different cultures and societies.

Created by an anonymous American artist in the 19th century after McLoughlin Bros published Childhood Heroes (1889), this artwork showcases how literature can inspire visual interpretations that transcend time and place.
