EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Vailima, Tonga, home of renowned Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. Known for his timeless masterpiece Treasure Island, Stevenson resided in this picturesque abode from 1890 until his untimely death in 1894. The image showcases the historical significance of this early 20th-century residence nestled amidst the serene beauty of Samoa. The photograph, taken by an English photographer from the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the life of one of literature's most celebrated authors. It is part of a private collection that preserves precious moments from history. Published in The King (Illustrated), A Pictorial Record of the Worlds News on November 17th, 1900, it stands as a testament to Stevenson's enduring legacy. Vailima served as both sanctuary and inspiration for Stevenson during his final years. This snapshot not only portrays the physical structure but also hints at the creative energy that emanated within its walls. As we celebrate Stevenson's birthday or anniversary, let us remember him not just as a writer but as a storyteller who transported readers to far-off lands through his vivid imagination. Beyond being an author's haven, Vailima holds sentimental value for many islanders residing in Polynesia and throughout the South Pacific region. It symbolizes cultural heritage and serves as a reminder of how literature can bridge gaps between different parts of our world. This image invites us to delve deeper into history and appreciate both
