EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Dreadnought Hoax: Virginia Woolf as the Emperor of Abyssinia and Her Suite," captures a whimsical moment in the lives of six young intellectuals during the early 20th century. Taken in 1941, the image features Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), the renowned English modernist author, dressed as the "Empress" of Abyssinia, while her companions, Duncan Grant (1885-1978), Adrian Stephen (1883-1976), Anthony Buxton (1885-1962), Guy Ridley (1887-1965), and Horace de Vere Cole (1881-1958), pose as her "suite." The group's elaborate costumes and exaggerated facial expressions add to the playful atmosphere of the scene. Woolf, wearing a blackened face and a long, flowing white dress, dons a turban adorned with feathers. Her companions, dressed in various combinations of turbans, bowler hats, and beards, complete the ensemble. The origins of this photograph are rooted in a historical hoax that took place in 1898, when Cole, under the pseudonym "Prince Hoetei," successfully deceived the British public into believing that he was the exiled Emperor of Abyssinia. This incident inspired the group to stage their own version of the hoax, with Woolf taking on the role of the emperor. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the imaginative and mischievous side of these influential figures but also highlights the importance of play and creativity in their lives. The image has since become a fascinating piece of historical documentation, shedding light on the lives of these literary and artistic luminaries beyond their published works.
