EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a poignant moment from the set of the 1928 British silent film, "The Constant Nymph," directed by Basil Dean and Adrian Brunel. In the scene, the charismatic Ivor Novello, a renowned actor, singer, and composer of the era, is seen deeply engrossed in a conversation with Mabel Poulton. Novello, dressed in a dapper suit, exudes an air of sophistication and intensity, while Poulton, with her expressive eyes and youthful beauty, embodies the character of Tessa, the object of his affection. The film, based on the novel by Margaret Kennedy, tells the story of a young girl, Tessa, who falls in love with her stepbrother, Terence, and the ensuing complex web of emotions and relationships. The scene depicted in this photograph was likely filmed at the Islington Studios in London, where Gainsborough Pictures produced many of its films during the 1920s. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, was a time of cultural and social transformation, marked by new forms of art, music, and fashion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of British cinema during this era, showcasing the elegance and drama of the silent film industry. Novello, a versatile artist, was a central figure in the British film scene of the 1920s and beyond, and this photograph serves as a testament to his enduring talent and charm.
