EDITORS COMMENTS
The Emperor of Abyssinia and his Court, captured in this photo print, showcases a moment of playful deception and camaraderie among a group of English intellectuals. Standing from left to right are Guy Ridley, Horace de Vere Cole, Adrian Stephen, Duncan Grant, while seated are Virginia Stephen and Anthony Buxton. This intriguing image was taken by an anonymous 20th-century English photographer. In an amusing twist of events, the individuals in the photograph decided to dress up as Abyssinians and paid a surprise visit to the HMS Dreadnought, flagship of the Home Fleet. The purpose behind their elaborate disguise remains unknown; however, it is evident that they were indulging in a jape filled with humor and theatricality. This snapshot captures not only their mischievous spirit but also highlights their close-knit bond as members of the Bloomsbury Group. Known for their intellectual pursuits and unconventional lifestyles, these artists and writers often sought ways to challenge societal norms through artistic expression. The photo serves as a reminder that even amidst serious intellectual endeavors there is room for fun-filled hoaxes like this one. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time when these brilliant minds momentarily shed their true identities to embrace playfulness and false personas. Now part of a private collection but available through Bridgeman Art Gallery's archives without any copyright restrictions or limitations on non-commercial use.
