EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of John Masefield, a renowned English poet and writer. Taken in 1909 by William Strang, this print showcases Masefield's enigmatic persona. Dressed in a stylish cloak and donning a hat, Masefield exudes an air of mystery and adventure. His piercing gaze seems to reflect his deep connection with the sea, which was often a prominent theme in his works. As the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1930 until 1967, Masefield's literary contributions left an indelible mark on British literature. The image evokes nostalgia for classic children's novels that he authored, transporting us to distant shores filled with tall ships and twinkling stars. It brings to mind one of his most famous lines: "I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and sky". This quote perfectly encapsulates his yearning for exploration and freedom. Displayed at Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK, this print serves as a timeless tribute to John Masefield's enduring legacy. The composition beautifully combines elements such as globe symbolizing knowledge and curiosity alongside his striking presence. As we admire this remarkable piece captured over a century ago by Bridgeman Images' lensman, we are reminded of Masefield's profound impact on literature while also appreciating the artistry behind its creation.
