ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON 1936 lecture manuscript, original unpublished typescript

Description: Robert Louis Stevenson – 1936 Lecture [By Guy Richardson.] Original typescript of a lecture by Richardson, a New England editor, writer, and early advocate for animal rights. 74 typed pages in four numbered sections with handwritten corrections throughout. Dated 1936 in the text on page 1. As found, stored in a 1924 envelope addressed to Our Dumb Animals, the magazine of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. (Richardson was editor of the magazine and longtime secretary of the society.) Stevenson's life and work are presented chronologically in the lecture, which Richardson (1873-1954) delivered a number of times over the years and may have hoped to eventually publish. The earliest date we found was November 1921, when he lectured at the Boston Public Library for Stevenson's birthday in conjunction with an exhibition of his first editions. Typescript is VG. Typical signs of age but complete and intact. Envelope is fragile with browning and chipping. An uncommon item for any Stevenson collection. We will include a printout of a 1921 biographical article on Guy Richardson. Along with his animal welfare work, a 1920s ad for a separate Richardson lecture on Abraham Lincoln describes him as “Editor, Writer, Traveler, Chautauqua Lecturer, Member various Literary and Patriotic Societies in Boston, Member Author's Club, London.” He was also a member of the Robert Louis Stevenson Club of Edinburgh, and he traveled to many of the sites where Stevenson lived and wrote. As an author, Richardson's credits included The Dog in Literature, Animals as Seen by the Poets, and A Bostonian in 'Frisco.
