EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait graced the cover of The Tatler magazine in 1916, featuring the distinguished English actor and manager, Sir Gerald Hubert Edward Busson du Maurier. Born in 1873, du Maurier was a scion of an artistic family, with his father being the renowned Punch cartoonist, George du Maurier. Du Maurier's theatrical career began in earnest in the late 1890s, and he quickly rose to prominence in the London stage scene. His versatility as an actor allowed him to excel in a range of roles, from comedic to tragic. In 1902, he founded the Duchess Theatre in London, where he served as both manager and leading man. The First World War saw du Maurier's career reach new heights, as he became a popular figure on the home front. His patriotic performances in plays such as "The Man Who Reclaimed His Mate" and "The Great Little War" raised morale and brought comfort to audiences during trying times. In this striking image, du Maurier's piercing gaze and elegant attire convey a sense of authority and sophistication. The portrait serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a beloved actor and innovative theatre manager. The cover of The Tatler, a prestigious society magazine of the time, further solidified his status as a cultural icon. Du Maurier's family also boasted literary talents, with his daughters Angela and Daphne achieving great success as writers. His son-in-law, Tommy Mann, was also a notable actor and director. The du Maurier family's contributions to the arts continue to be celebrated and inspire new generations.
