Overview"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" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Robert Louis Stevenson , Shiraz BayjooPublisher: Four Corners Books Imprint: Four Corners Books Volume: 14 ISBN: 9781909829190ISBN 10: 1909829196 Pages: 280 Publication Date: 12 May 2022 Recommended Age: From 9 to 12 years Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
