Robert Louis Stevenson is one of the geatest British storytellers and Treasure Island the best known of piratical yarns. What more could one ask than to combine this bloody tale of mutiny, betrayal and ill-gotten loot with one of the greatest illustrative talents working today. John Lawrence is a master of his art whose craftmanship and artistic expression are recognised the world over. This edition, two years in production, is truly a magnus opus with John's originality and versatility at its height. This worthy tome will surely be regarded as an enduring masterpiece.
The exhibition of John's vinyl engraving for this new edition is a must for all serious collectos as well as those with a lust for the high-seas adventure of Long John Silver and his craven crew of murderous cut-throats.
All artwork is available for purchase with prices from £99.
