EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to Monterey, California, USA, circa 1908, where the historic Robert Louis Stevenson House stands proudly on Houston Street. Once known as the French Hotel, this beautiful whitewashed building holds a rich and fascinating history. Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, renowned for his works of literature such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," stayed here in 1879, leaving an indelible mark on the property. The tranquil setting of the house, surrounded by lush grass and a quaint picket fence, adds to its charm and allure. The large, stately building with its distinctive white exterior exudes an aura of elegance and sophistication, transporting us back to the early 1900s. The Robert Louis Stevenson House in Monterey is not only a significant piece of Californian and American heritage, but also a testament to the enduring influence of one of the greatest literary figures of all time. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and experiences that unfolded within its walls over a century ago.
