Book cover

Stevenson and Pleasure
Edited by Julie Gay, Lesley Graham and Nathalie Jaëck

Cover image: Robert Louis Stevenson, 1887. Painting by John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), oil on canvas. The painting shows Robert Louis Stevenson sitting relaxed in an orange wicker armchair, one long leg crossed over the other. Stevenson is wearing a dark velvet smoking jacket and grey, baggy trousers. One thin hand rests on his thigh and the other golds a cigarette up near his mouth. He has a drooping moustache and a pale face, and he looks out at us with an amused expression. The chair sits on a wildly furry light brown rug in front of a piece of dark wooden Victorian furniture.
