1850 1894 Desk Folded Stevenson
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the young Robert Louis Stevenson at the age of seventeen, sitting confidently at his desk with folded arms. Born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson is considered one of the greatest writers of literature in the English language. Known for his vivid imagination and storytelling ability, his works have left an indelible mark on literature, inspiring generations of readers. At this early age, Stevenson's intellectual curiosity and passion for writing were already evident. Surrounded by books and papers, his intense focus is palpable in this image. The photograph, taken in 1894, captures a moment in time when the seeds of greatness were being sown. Stevenson's literary career began in earnest in his late twenties, with the publication of "An Inland Voyage" and "Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes." However, it was his novels, including "Treasure Island," "Kidnapped," and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," that brought him international fame. Despite his success, Stevenson's life was not without its challenges. He suffered from various health issues, including tuberculosis, which forced him to travel frequently in search of climates that would improve his condition. He also faced financial difficulties and personal struggles, including a tumultuous marriage. Despite these challenges, Stevenson's passion for writing never waned. He continued to produce works that captivated readers and critics alike, cementing his place in literary history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the young man who would grow up to become one of the most beloved and influential writers of all time.
