EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the momentous arrival of renowned author Robert Louis Stevenson and his friends in Samoa. Created by Charles Mills Sheldon, this print showcases the group's journey to this exotic island paradise. The image is part of Arthur Mees Hero Book, published by Hodder and Stoughton around 1921. In this scene, we witness a sense of heroism as Stevenson and his companions disembark from their vessel onto Samoan soil. The artist skillfully portrays the excitement and anticipation on their faces as they step into this new chapter of their lives. Stevenson, known for his literary masterpieces such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" sought solace in Samoa due to declining health. He found inspiration amidst its lush landscapes and warm culture, which greatly influenced his later works. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of friendship through its depiction of Stevenson's companions joining him on this adventure. Their presence symbolizes support, camaraderie, and shared experiences that would shape their time together in Samoa. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment when a celebrated writer embarked on a new chapter surrounded by loyal friends. It serves as a reminder that even heroes need companionship along life's journey – a sentiment that resonates with us all today.
