EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, featuring the renowned poet William Butler Yeats alongside Charles and Thea Rolleston. Taken in 1894 by Thomas William Hazen Rolleston, this intimate portrait showcases the trio seated on a bench in the picturesque garden of the Rolleston home in Killiney, County Dublin. In this evocative image, Yeats dons a sailor suit with an air of sophistication, his piercing gaze hidden behind pince nez glasses. A cigarette delicately held between his fingers adds to his enigmatic allure. The sultry atmosphere is heightened by the presence of Charles and Thea Rolleston, both elegantly dressed and adorned with stylish hats. The composition exudes a moody ambiance as shadows play upon their faces while they sit together on the bench. Each figure seems lost in thought, perhaps contemplating deep poetic musings or engaging in profound conversation about art and literature. As one of Ireland's most celebrated literary figures, Yeats' contribution to poetry is immeasurable. This photograph offers us a glimpse into his personal life and relationships during this period. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as an author and poet. Preserved within this timeless image are not only these three individuals but also echoes of Victorian elegance and intellectualism that defined their era. Through its artistic lens, this photograph invites us to delve into history while marveling at the complex personalities captured within its frame.
