EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, created by John Hassall in 1909, brings to life a thrilling scene from the beloved adventure novel "Swiss Family Robinson". The print showcases the desperate struggle of the Robinson family as they find themselves locked in a battle with a massive lobster. With vibrant colors and intricate details, Hassall skillfully captures the intensity and determination on their faces as they attempt to shake off their formidable opponent. The composition exudes a sense of urgency and danger, highlighting the resourcefulness required for survival in such harsh circumstances. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through our veins. The sheer size of the lobster serves as a reminder of nature's power and unpredictability. Hassall's illustration was originally commissioned for an edition of Edith Robarts' retelling of "The Swiss Family Robinson" published by Blackie & Son Ltd. It beautifully complements Johann David Wyss' timeless tale of resilience and ingenuity in the face of adversity. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, showcasing their commitment to preserving and sharing exceptional works from art history. As we admire this piece, let us be reminded that even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges like these characters are facing against this large lobster - perseverance can lead us to triumph over any obstacle life throws our way.
