Up into the Cherry Tree - A Moment of Childhood Dreams and Imagined Journeys with Robert Louis Stevenson

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1885, captures the essence of childhood wonder and the power of the imagination as embodied by the renowned Scottish author, Robert Louis Stevenson. In this image, Stevenson, then a man in his late thirties, is depicted climbing a cherry tree with a book in hand, his young son, Lloyd Osbourne, looking on from below. The scene is set in a lush garden, filled with vibrant flowers and verdant foliage, transporting us to a time and place where the boundaries between reality and fantasy were blurred. The verse inscribed at the bottom of the photograph, "Up into the cherry tree / Who should climb but little me? / I held the trunk with both my hands, / And looked abroad in foreign lands," is taken from Stevenson's beloved collection of poems, "A Child's Garden of Verses," first published in 1885. These lines encapsulate the spirit of adventure and curiosity that defined Stevenson's life and work, as well as his ability to see the world through the innocent eyes of a child. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the transformative power of literature to transport us to far-off lands and to inspire our own dreams and imaginations. The tree, with its gnarled trunk and outstretching branches, serves as a symbol of the limitless possibilities that await us, both in the pages of a book and in the world beyond. This photograph, a precious snapshot of a moment in time, offers a glimpse into the personal life of a literary giant and invites us to reflect on the enduring power of poetry to inspire wonder, curiosity, and a sense of adventure in us all.
