Catalogue Note
Painted in 1947, Treasure Island is one of a series of illustrations of childrens' literary classics that Houghtelling created for Collier's magazine. He called these works, 'art-told tales' and through them, meant to inspire children to read and enjoy these wonderful books. The present work presents the island portion of Robert Louis Stevenson's magical tale and should be read starting at the upper left and continuing counter-clockwise.
