EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Sax Rohmer, the pen name of Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward (1883-1959), a prolific English author renowned for his thrilling and groundbreaking works, most notably the Fu Manchu series. Born on February 11, 1883, in India, Rohmer's childhood experiences in the British Empire instilled in him a fascination with the exotic and the mysterious. He began his literary career in the late 19th century, contributing to various publications before gaining recognition for his suspenseful and intricately plotted stories. The Fu Manchu series, which debuted in 1913 with the publication of "The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu," introduced the world to the sinister and enigmatic Chinese criminal mastermind, Fu Manchu. With his distinctive features, including a pigtail and a distinctive mustache, Fu Manchu quickly became a cultural icon and a symbol of the Yellow Peril. Rohmer's portrayal of Fu Manchu, however, was far more complex than a simple caricature, as he imbued the character with intelligence, cunning, and a deep-seated hatred for the British. Rohmer's Fu Manchu novels were a commercial success and established him as a leading figure in the thriller genre. He continued to write and publish works throughout the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, including the Dr. Gilles series and the Vayne series. Rohmer's impact on popular literature is undeniable, and his influence can be seen in the works of later writers such as Ian Fleming and Mickey Spillane. This photograph, taken likely in the mid-20th century, captures the enigmatic and captivating presence of Sax Rohmer, a man whose stories continue to enthrall and entertain readers to this day. With his piercing gaze and aura of mystery, Rohmer embodies the very essence of the thrilling and suspenseful tales he penned under the name Fu Manchu.
