EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the renowned Scottish writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, and his beloved wife, Fanny, on the verandah of their enchanting house at Vailima in Samoa. Taken around 1892 by John Davis, a skilled photographer from Apia, this image offers a glimpse into the private life of one of literature's most celebrated figures. In this intimate portrait, we see Robert and Fanny standing side by side on their verandah. The couple exudes an air of contentment as they bask in the tropical sunlight that filters through the lush foliage surrounding their home. Their relaxed posture suggests a deep connection and shared joy in each other's company. The verandah itself is adorned with intricate details that reflect both Samoan culture and European influences. It serves as a tranquil retreat where Robert found solace to write his timeless tales while being inspired by the natural beauty that surrounded him. Fanny stands elegantly beside her husband, embodying strength and support. She was not only his loving partner but also played an instrumental role in managing their household affairs during their time in Samoa. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of the idyllic life that Robert Louis Stevenson created for himself amidst exotic landscapes far from his native Scotland. It immortalizes not just a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the enduring love between two extraordinary individuals who embarked on an adventurous journey together.
