Autorenporträt
Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish author, poet, essayist, and travel writer, lived from 1850 to 1894. He was well renowned for his horror and adventure novels including ""Treasure Island,"" ""Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,"" and ""Kidnapped."" He was noted for his gripping narratives and tackled issues of identity, morality, and the human condition. He was an avid traveler and explorer, and his travels served as the basis for many of his writings. At the age of 44, he passed away in Samoa, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most significant authors of the Victorian period. Louis Rhead, an American artist, illustrator, and writer of English descent, lived from 1857 until 1926. He was born in Etruria, Staffordshire, England, and immigrated to America in 1883 together with his family. Many well-known books, including ""Robinson Crusoe"" and ""Treasure Island"" by Robert Louis Stevenson, were illustrated by Rhead, who also contributed to other works. He was also a prolific author who produced children's books, books on fishing and angling, and other works. His use of vivid colors and attention to detail made his artwork well-regarded. Rhead was a significant contributor to the Arts and Crafts movement and a Society of Illustrators member.
