EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the distinguished face of John Masefield (1878-1967), an English poet, playwright, and fiction writer of great historical significance. The photograph, taken in 1967, reveals the deep lines etched on Masefield's face, a testament to the many years he dedicated to his craft. With a pen in hand, Masefield is often associated with the long and flowing lines of his poetry, which brought him both critical acclaim and popular success. Born in Ledbury, Herefordshire, Masefield's love for the sea and maritime life was evident in much of his work. He is best known for his poem "Sea Fever," which begins with the famous line, "I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky." Masefield's poetry was not limited to the sea, however, and he also wrote extensively about history, religion, and the human condition. As a playwright, Masefield's works were produced on both the London and Broadway stages, including "Auld Lang Syne" and "The Everlasting Mercy." His fiction, such as "Salt-Water: A Sea Adventure" and "The Box of Delights," captured the imagination of readers young and old. This photograph of John Masefield, taken in the later years of his life, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of this versatile and influential writer. With his piercing gaze and furrowed brow, he seems to be lost in thought, perhaps pondering the next line of poetry or the next scene in a play. A true master of the written word, Masefield continues to inspire and captivate readers around the world.
