EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of John Drinkwater, an English poet and playwright, in 1936. Drinkwater, born in 1882, was a prominent figure in the literary world of the early 20th century, known for his thought-provoking works and unique style. In this image, Drinkwater is seen signing an autograph with a pen held in his right hand, while his left hand rests on a cigar case. The signature is clear and confident, reflecting the authoritative tone of his writings. His face, framed by a well-groomed mustache and sideburns, exudes a sense of wisdom and introspection. Drinkwater's attire adds to the historical context of the photograph. He wears a collared shirt with a square, patterned tie, which was a popular fashion choice during the 1930s. The photograph also reveals a glimpse of his cufflinks, adding a touch of elegance to his appearance. The year 1936 marked a significant period in Drinkwater's career, as he continued to write and produce plays that explored the human condition and the complexities of relationships. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich literary heritage of the past and the enduring influence of Drinkwater's works on modern literature. Mary Evans Picture Library's collection offers a treasure trove of historical images, and this photograph of John Drinkwater is a testament to the power of a single image to transport us back in time and connect us with the past.
