Treasure Map in the book "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson. London: Cassell & Co., 1883. First edition
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest--
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
“Treasure Island” spins a heady tale of piracy, a mysterious treasure map, and a host of sinister characters charged with diabolical intentions. Seen through the eyes of Jim Hawkins, the cabin boy of the “Hispaniola,” the action-packed adventure tells of a perilous sea journey across the Spanish Main, a mutiny led by the infamous Long John Silver, and a lethal scramble for buried treasure on an exotic isle. Rich in atmosphere and character, “Treasure Island” continues to mesmerize readers and it has had an enormous influence on popular perceptions of pirates, including one-legged seamen, tropical islands, treasure maps marked with an X, and pirates with parrots on their shoulders.
A popular film adaptation of “Treasure Island” was produced by Walt Disney in 1950:
