EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic Dutch writer Maarten Maartens, born Jozua Marius Willem van der Poorten Schwartz, in the late 1890s. Maartens was a prolific author who wrote primarily in English, producing novels, short stories, plays, and poems that showcased his unique literary voice. Born in 1858, Maartens was a man of his time, as evidenced by his well-groomed appearance in this photograph. His moustache and winged collar are fashionable accessories of the era, while his centre parting and slicked-back hair suggest a man of refinement and sophistication. Despite his Dutch heritage, Maartens chose to write in English, a decision that set him apart from many of his contemporaries. His works were known for their wit, insight, and emotional depth, earning him a loyal following both in Europe and in the English-speaking world. Maartens' literary output was diverse, ranging from light-hearted comedies to serious dramas that tackled social issues of the day. His plays were particularly popular, and he was often referred to as a playwright and dramatist. Despite his success, Maartens remained a private and enigmatic figure. He preferred to keep his personal life out of the public eye, allowing his work to speak for itself. This portrait offers a rare glimpse into the man behind the words, revealing a thoughtful and introspective individual whose contributions to literature continue to be celebrated over a century later. This photograph is part of the Annabel Watts Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library and is a testament to the enduring appeal of Maarten Maartens and his literary legacy.
