Five of the estimated seven plates in the Robinson Crusoe set of children’s Alphabet plates, featuring scenes from Daniel Defoe’s 1719 early adventure fiction book. Present in this set of five are: “Crusoe finding the foot prints,” “Crusoe at work,” “Crusoe viewing the island,” “Crusoe and his pets,” and “Crusoe on the raft.” The two plates lacking from the set are “Crusoe rescues Friday” and “Crusoe teaching Friday,” although it is unknown if they are available in the brown alphabet transfer color.
