EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and adventurous spirit of Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925), a prolific English writer renowned for his thrilling adventure stories. The image, taken during Haggard's later years, reveals the author's distinguished appearance with his well-groomed moustache, winged collar, and piercing gaze. His head is adorned with a chain, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. Born in Norfolk, England, Haggard's literary career began in earnest after the failure of his first business venture. He turned to writing, and his first novel, "Victoria" (1892), was an instant success. However, it was his second novel, "She: A History of Adventure" (1887), that would secure his place in literary history. The story of an Englishman's search for the lost city of Kor, "She" introduced the world to the iconic character of Ayesha, also known as She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed. Haggard's works, which often featured strong female characters and exotic locales, were immensely popular during his time and continue to inspire generations of readers. His influence can be seen in various forms of media, from film and television to comic books and video games. This photograph, with its striking composition and intriguing subject matter, serves as a reminder of Haggard's enduring legacy as a master storyteller and a pioneer of the adventure genre.
