EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the 27th of November, 1953. Renowned English novelist William Somerset Maugham is captured in a moment of deep contemplation during a bridge party at Crockfords Club. As the guest of honor, his presence exudes an air of sophistication and intellectual prowess. Maugham's piercing gaze is intensified by his spectacles, which lend him an aura of wisdom and insight. The faint trail of smoke from his cigarette adds to the mystique surrounding this literary giant. With cards spread before him, he carefully studies his hand, revealing not only his passion for the game but also his strategic mind. The image beautifully encapsulates Maugham's character as a British literary icon. His contribution to literature has left an indelible mark on British culture and beyond. Known for works such as "Of Human Bondage" and "The Razor's Edge". Maugham's influence extends far beyond the realm of card games. Photographer Maurice Ambler skillfully captures both Maugham's physical appearance and inner thoughts through this timeless photograph. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of one man who dedicated himself to crafting stories that resonate with readers across generations. This archival print allows us to peer into history, offering glimpses into moments that shaped our cultural landscape while reminding us of the power held within each individual hand dealt in life or on the bridge table.
