Description

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
First Edition — Published by Cassell & Co., Limited
Illustrated by N.C. Wyeth

 

Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island has stood for generations as one of the most influential adventure novels in English literature, introducing enduring figures such as Long John Silver and shaping the popular image of pirates in the modern imagination.

This edition is illustrated by the renowned American artist N.C. Wyeth (1882–1945), whose dramatic and richly colored paintings brought a new depth of life to classic works. Wyeth’s illustrations for Treasure Island are among his most celebrated, combining bold composition with a sense of movement that continues to captivate readers and collectors alike.

The book contains 273 pages. One color plate has become fully separated from the text block but remains undamaged. All other pages are intact and secure to the hinge. The binding is slightly oversized, allowing Wyeth’s illustrations to command the page with striking presence.

A cornerstone for both Stevenson collectors and admirers of Golden Age illustration, this volume unites one of literature’s most beloved tales with the artistry of one of America’s greatest illustrators.
