Mounted on a support sheet. 87.5 x 57.5cm.Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes 1879 is one of Robert Louis Stevenson's earliest published works and is considered a pioneering classic of outdoor literature. Travels recounts Stevenson's 12-day 200-kilometre 120 mi solo hiking journey through the sparsely populated and impoverished areas of the Cévennes mountains in south-central France in 1878.En septembre 1878 Stevenson traverse à pied les Cévennes avec pour seule compagne une petite ânesse qu’il baptise Modestine. Il retrace son cheminement du Monastier jusqu’à Saint-Jean-du-Gard où il arrive 12 jours plus tard après avoir parcouru près de 200 km.Les motivations qui poussèrent le jeune Stevenson — qui n’a pas encore 28 ans — à entreprendre seul ce périple à travers les Cévennes sont probablement d’ordre sentimental. À la fin de l’été 1878 Fanny Osbourne artiste américaine avec laquelle il vit une histoire d’amour depuis deux ans est contrainte de repartir aux Etats-Unis où l’attend son mari.Pour mieux supporter le départ de celle qu’il aime il se réfugie en Auvergne au Monastier village où George Sand était venue se documenter pour l’écriture de son roman Le Marquis de Villemer que Stevenson appréciait particulièrement. L’éloignement ne suffit pas et le 17 septembre il décide d’entreprendre ce voyage. Pour soixante-cinq francs et un verre de liqueur. Il achète "une minuscule ânesse pas plus grosse qu’un chien couleur de souris l’œil aimable et la mâchoire inférieure décidée. La coquine avait je ne sais quoi de simple et de racé une élégance de quaker qui me plut sur-le-champ.". Nimes, France: Ville de Nimes. Musée des Beaux-Arts, 1978 unknown
