EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Chalet La Solitude in Hyeres, France, which served as the cherished home of renowned Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson from 1882 to 1884. The image, taken by a talented British photographer in the 19th century, showcases the rustic charm and serene beauty of this historic residence. Nestled amidst nature's embrace, Chalet La Solitude provided Stevenson with solace and inspiration during his time here. Known for his remarkable literary contributions as a novelist, poet, playwright, and travel writer, Stevenson himself once expressed that he had experienced true happiness only during his stay in Hyeres. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to an era when Stevenson sought refuge within these walls. The image invites us to imagine him immersed in creative pursuits or perhaps finding respite from life's demands amidst the tranquil surroundings. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of a historical dwelling but also in its ability to evoke emotions associated with home and happiness. It serves as a testament to how physical spaces can shape our experiences and leave lasting impressions on our lives. Preserved within private collections and now made accessible through Bridgeman Images' archives, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into both Stevenson's personal history and the enduring allure of Chalet La Solitude.
