1850 1894 Furniss Moustache Novelist Reclining Stevenson
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary Scottish novelist and poet, Robert Louis Stevenson, in a moment of deep reflection as he reclines in bed with a quill pen in hand. The image, taken in 1894, reveals Stevenson's signature moustache and weary expression, which have become synonymous with his literary persona. Born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson is best known for his novels "Treasure Island," "Kidnapped," and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," as well as his travel writings and poetry. His works have been translated into over 120 languages and have influenced numerous artists, writers, and filmmakers. Despite his prolific literary output, Stevenson's health was fragile, and he spent much of his life in search of climates that would alleviate his respiratory problems. He traveled extensively, living in various parts of Europe, the Pacific Islands, and the United States. This photograph, taken during one of his periods of ill health, captures the introspective nature of Stevenson's later years. The bed, with its soft, rumpled sheets and piles of books, serves as a reminder of the countless hours he spent writing, creating the works that continue to captivate readers around the world. The photograph, taken by the renowned English photographer, Furniss, is a poignant snapshot of a literary giant in the twilight of his life, reflecting on the body of work he had created and the enduring impact it would have on literature and popular culture.
