EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment when Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) met Tui-Ma-Le-Alii-Fano, the Native Hawaiian chief, during his travels in the South Pacific in 1894. Stevenson, renowned for his literary works such as "Treasure Island" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," was known for his adventurous spirit and insatiable curiosity, which led him to explore various parts of the world. In this image, Stevenson is dressed in a formal Scottish tie, a stark contrast to the traditional Hawaiian attire worn by Tui-Ma-Le-Alii-Fano. The chief, adorned with leis and a feathered headdress, warmly welcomes Stevenson with a friendly smile. The background scene reveals the lush greenery and vibrant colors of Hawaii, providing a picturesque backdrop to this historical encounter. Stevenson's visit to the Hawaiian Islands was a significant event in his life, as he wrote extensively about his experiences in his travelogue "The Amateur Emigrant." This encounter with Tui-Ma-Le-Alii-Fano is a testament to the cultural exchange and connections that Stevenson made during his travels, which enriched both his personal and literary pursuits. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the fascinating encounter between two remarkable individuals from different worlds. It serves as a reminder of the power of exploration, curiosity, and the connections that can be made across cultures and continents.
