EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Arthur Matthison (1837-1883), a prolific playwright and dramatist of the Victorian era. The photograph, taken in the late 1880s, presents Matthison in the height of his literary career. With a piercing gaze and an air of intellectual intensity, he gazes directly at the viewer, as if to draw us into the intricate worlds of his plays. Matthison's appearance is that of a man of letters, with a prominent pince-nez, a well-groomed moustache, and a bowtie that adds a touch of elegance to his attire. The scarf around his neck and the bow in his lapel complete the fashionable Victorian look. Arthur Matthison was a versatile writer, known for his ability to tackle a wide range of subjects and genres. His plays were often set in exotic locales, and he was particularly fond of historical themes. Matthison's works were produced on both sides of the Atlantic, and he was celebrated in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Despite his success, Matthison led a relatively private life. He preferred to let his plays speak for themselves, and he shied away from the limelight. This portrait, therefore, offers a rare glimpse into the man behind the pen, revealing a complex and intriguing personality that continues to captivate audiences today. Matthison's legacy as a playwright and dramatist is secure, and his works remain an essential part of the Victorian literary canon. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring power of the written word.
