EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the timeless adventure tale, Treasure Island. Illustrated by the talented Newell Convers Wyeth in 1911, this image depicts a scene where Captain Smollett fearlessly climbs onto the roof of a stockade. With his own hand, he bends and runs up the colors - an act that symbolizes courage and defiance. The vibrant colors of the flag against the backdrop of a clear blue sky evoke a sense of triumph and determination. The attention to detail in Wyeth's artwork brings this thrilling story to life, making it an enchanting visual experience for both children and adults alike. Treasure Island is renowned for its rich storytelling and memorable characters, with Captain Smollett being one of its most beloved figures. This illustration perfectly captures his strong-willed nature as he takes charge in the face of danger. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into Stevenson's world filled with pirates, treasure hunts, and daring escapades. It serves as a reminder that literature has the power to ignite our imaginations and take us on extraordinary journeys. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection showcases not only Wyeth's artistic prowess but also highlights how art can bring cherished stories to life through vivid imagery.
