EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned Scottish author and poet, Robert Louis Stevenson, during his time in Samoa around 1890. Seeking solace from his battle with tuberculosis, Stevenson made the bold decision to settle in Samoa with his family in 1889. The image showcases a man of intellect and resilience, as he gazes into the distance with determination etched upon his face. Stevenson's signature moustache adds an air of sophistication to this portrait, reflecting both his Victorian upbringing and literary prowess. Dressed impeccably in a tie and formal attire, he exudes an aura of professionalism befitting of a man dedicated to his craft. The photograph not only captures Stevenson's physical appearance but also hints at the journey he embarked on for better health. His relocation to Samoa was more than just a change of scenery; it symbolized hope for recovery amidst the ravages of disease. As one delves deeper into this monochrome masterpiece, it becomes evident that this image is more than just a snapshot frozen in time. It encapsulates the essence of a writer who defied adversity through sheer determination and found inspiration within foreign shores. This print serves as a testament to Stevenson's enduring legacy as one of Scotland's most celebrated literary figures while offering us glimpses into the life behind his written words.
