This illustrative print titled *Het leven van Robinson Crusoe* (2) by Arie Willem Segboer, dating from 1903-1919, details the adventures of the titular character Robinson Crusoe. The Dutch print depicts the story of Crusoe in a series of twelve panels, beginning with his departure from his father and culminating with his encounter with native islanders. Printed in the style of *Kinderprenten*, or children's prints, the work is characterized by bright colors, simple lines, and descriptive captions in Dutch. The work would have likely been displayed in Dutch homes and classrooms, teaching children about the importance of resilience, resourcefulness, and the dangers of venturing into the unknown. *Het leven van Robinson Crusoe* (2) exemplifies the popular appeal of the classic novel and its enduring resonance in popular culture.
