1719 Crusoe Defoe Depicted Goat Parrot Prancing Robinson Shoulder
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a young Robinson Crusoe, the iconic protagonist of Daniel Defoe's classic 1719 novel, in an enchanting scene with a parrot perched on his shoulder and a prancing goat before him. The boyish Crusoe, with his unkempt hair and simple attire, embodies the adventurous spirit and resourcefulness that have made this literary character a timeless figure in English literature. The parrot, with its vibrant plumage and beady eyes, adds a touch of exoticism to the scene, reflecting Crusoe's travels and experiences in the New World. The parrot's presence also serves as a reminder of Crusoe's companionship during his isolation on the deserted island. The prancing goat, with its curious expression and playful demeanor, adds a light-hearted and whimsical touch to the scene. Goats were often depicted in early illustrations of Robinson Crusoe, representing the domestic elements that Crusoe was able to establish on the island, as well as the contrast between the wild and the tamed. This evocative print, published in the early 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Robinson Crusoe and the enduring appeal of Defoe's novel. The image invites us to imagine the adventures and discoveries that awaited Crusoe on his deserted island, and to appreciate the resilience and ingenuity that allowed him to survive and thrive in such a challenging environment.
