EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson is seen surrounded by his loved ones at his tropical retreat, Vailima, in Samoa, circa 1894. The image captures a moment of tranquility and contentment as Stevenson, dressed in a white shirt and shorts, sits on the porch of his house, with his mother, Margaret Stevenson, and some native Samoan servants in the background. Robert Louis Stevenson, born in Scotland in 1850, was a renowned author known for his novels, poems, and travel writings. In 1890, he and his wife Fanny set sail for the South Pacific in search of a healthier climate for Fanny's tuberculosis. They eventually settled in Samoa, where they built a house named Vailima. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Stevenson family at their exotic home. Margaret Stevenson, who had been a constant source of support and inspiration to her son, is seated on a chair, looking off into the distance with a serene expression. The native servants, dressed in traditional Samoan attire, are busy at work in the background, tending to the household chores. The lush greenery and tropical setting of Vailima are also on full display, with palm trees and exotic flowers framing the scene. The peaceful atmosphere of the photograph belies the challenges and hardships that the Stevenson family faced during their time in Samoa, including political instability and natural disasters. Despite these challenges, Robert Louis Stevenson continued to write and produce some of his most famous works, including "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Treasure Island," during his time in Samoa. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the writer's connection to his family and the unique environment that inspired some of his greatest works.
