EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of Dr. Lewis Balfour (1850-1894), the maternal grandfather of the renowned Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The image, taken around the late 19th century, shows Dr. Balfour in deep contemplation as he sits in a comfortable chair, holding a book in his hands. His piercing gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply immersed in thought, reflecting the profound intellectual curiosity that would be passed down to his famous grandson. Born in Scotland, Dr. Balfour was a respected physician and surgeon, who practiced in Edinburgh during a time when medical advancements were transforming the field. Despite his successful career, he harbored a lifelong passion for literature and the arts, which he nurtured in his private life. His extensive library and love for intellectual pursuits would have a profound impact on his grandson, who would go on to become one of the most celebrated writers in Scottish literature. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a man who played a significant role in shaping the legacy of one of the most beloved authors of all time. Dr. Lewis Balfour's influence on Robert Louis Stevenson extended far beyond the confines of his medical practice, leaving a lasting impact on the literary world and inspiring generations of readers with his words and wisdom.
