EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when renowned Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) sets sail on the schooner yacht Casco, embarking on a journey to the South Seas. Stevenson, known for his literary works such as "Treasure Island," "Kidnapped," and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," was a man of many passions, including sailing and adventure. In this image, he is seen pointing intently towards the horizon, perhaps lost in thought or eagerly anticipating the journey that lies ahead. The year was 1894, and Stevenson, who had been diagnosed with tuberculosis, sought the warmer climate and healing properties of the South Seas. He was accompanied on this voyage by his wife Fanny and their young stepson Lloyd Osbourne. The Casco, a small and nimble schooner, was the perfect vessel for their voyage of discovery. The scene is set against the backdrop of the yacht's rigging, the sails billowing in the wind, and the water gently lapping against the hull. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the fact that it captures a pivotal moment in Stevenson's life, as he set sail on a journey that would inspire some of his most famous works, including "The Amateur Emigrant" and "The Isle of Voices." This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea, and the sense of freedom and adventure it represents. It is a poignant reminder of the power of the written word to transport us to far-off lands and to capture the essence of the human spirit.
