In this captivating collection of portraits, we catch a glimpse into the world of "the author. " From the intellectual brilliance of Albert Einstein to the poetic genius of Rabindranath Tagore, these photographs transport us back to Berlin in 1930. The black and white photo captures their deep connection and shared pursuit of knowledge. Moving on to Lytton Strachey's oil painting from 1916, we are introduced to a different side of "the author. " With bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Strachey brings his subject to life. Emily Bronte's portrait follows suit, painted with delicate strokes that reveal her enigmatic spirit, and is as if we can almost hear the words she penned in Wuthering Heights. Frederick Lemaitre's lithograph takes us into the realm of theater and drama. The intensity in his eyes hints at the passion he brought to every performance. Meanwhile, William Hogarth's illustrations depict scenes from Don Quixote, showcasing both humor and heroism. Albrecht Durer's etching transports us further back in time, capturing him at the tender age of 26. His youthful determination shines through as he gazes directly at us. RB Cunninghame Graham's oil painting adds a touch of mystery with its intriguing composition. We wonder what stories lie behind those piercing eyes. Little Tom Thumb makes an appearance in a charming print from 1938—a reminder that even small voices can have a big impact on literature. Don Quixote appears once again—this time immortalized for an advertisement for Globeol—an unexpected twist blending fiction with commerce. Finally, Francois Boucher's engraved illustration takes us into Moliere’s world—a whimsical depiction filled with love and longing. The collection concludes with Georges de Porto Riche captured by late 19th-century photography—a moment frozen in time for future generations to admire his contributions as a playwright and poet.
