EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed British author, William Somerset Maugham, in 1927. Known for his remarkable contributions to literature through novels, plays, and short stories, Maugham's talent and creativity have left an indelible mark on the literary world. Born in 1874, he initially pursued a career in medicine at St Thomass Hospital before embarking on a decade-long journey as a struggling author in Paris. In 1915, Maugham gained widespread recognition with his semi-autobiographical novel "Of Human Bondage" followed by "The Moon and Sixpence" in 1919—a work inspired by the life of renowned artist Gauguin. His exceptional storytelling abilities led to several of his works being adapted into films. This portrait captures Maugham's essence as a distinguished writer of the early 20th century. The halftone technique used adds depth and character to the image while emphasizing his occupation as an author. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print serves as a testament to Maugham's significant contribution to English literature. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive and collected by Anon (creator), this photograph immortalizes W Somerset Maugham—an iconic figure whose writings continue to inspire readers worldwide.
