EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Du Maurier, a prominent British writer and artist, captured around 1895 by the talented photographers W&D Downey. Known for his exceptional skills as an illustrator, cartoonist, and novelist, Du Maurier's creative genius left an indelible mark on the literary world of the late 19th century. With his distinguished Victorian appearance, complete with a full beard and mustache adorning his face, Du Maurier exudes an air of intellect and sophistication. His piercing gaze hints at the depth of knowledge that lies within him. As a father to actor-manager Gerald Du Maurier and grandfather to renowned novelist Daphne Du Maurier, he undoubtedly passed down his artistic talents through generations. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this portrait, emphasizing both the historical significance of the era in which it was taken and the enduring legacy of George Du Maurier himself. The photograph captures not only his physical features but also reflects upon his occupation as a writer—a profession that shaped both his life's work and cultural impact. Preserved within this print is a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British literature during the 19th century—where imagination flourished alongside intellectual pursuits. This image serves as a testament to George Du Maurier's contribution to artistry in all its forms: from penning captivating stories to creating visually stunning illustrations that continue to inspire readers even today.
