Treasure Island - Hardcover
by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author), Shiraz Bayjoo (Illustrator)
A sumptuously designed artist's book edition of Stevenson's classic, with illustrations by Shiraz Bayjoo expanding on themes of colonialism and slavery
Published as part of Four Corners' acclaimed Familiars series, providing a fresh look at the tradition of the illustrated novel, this is a stunning artist's book edition of Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson's colonial-era adventure story, illustrated by multidisciplinary Mauritian artist Shiraz Bayjoo.
Bayjoo's images take us from the ports of England to landscapes scarred by plantations and mines; from the brutality of the 18th-century colonial Caribbean to the Indian Ocean; and to wider global histories of slavery, colonialism and violence that shaped that period. Designed by award-winning designer John Morgan, this beautiful clothbound volume is printed on uncoated paper with color images throughout.
"Shiraz Bayjoo has created a thrilling visual interpretation of Treasure Island that sets Stevenson's story within the context of 18th-century Atlantic trade and colonial power. The result is timely, urgent and strikingly beautiful." -Ekow Eshun
