EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Maurice Maeterlinck, a prominent Belgian playwright, poet, and essayist. Taken in 1915, it showcases Maeterlinck's distinguished presence as he poses for the camera. As a member of the Symbolist movement, Maeterlinck's contribution to literature was highly regarded.

While he wrote numerous works throughout his career, one of his most famous plays is "The Blue Bird" which was published in 1908. In this photograph from Album de Photographies dans L'Intimite de Personnages Illustres (1855-1915), we see Maeterlinck dressed impeccably in a uniform that reflects both his occupation and personal style.

It is evident that this portrait captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of a man deeply dedicated to his craft. The monochrome effect further enhances the timeless quality of this image.
