EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, as Gerald du Maurier, a renowned English actor and manager, poses with his beloved family in 1917. Du Maurier, born in 1873, is depicted here with his wife, the former Muriel Beaumont, and their two elder daughters, Daphne and Angela. The family's warm connection is palpable, as they gaze at each other with affection and pride. Du Maurier's acting career began in the late 1890s, and he quickly rose to prominence on the London stage. He later became a successful manager, producing and directing plays. His daughters, Daphne and Angela, also followed in their father's footsteps, becoming accomplished writers. Daphne is best known for her novels "Rebecca" and "Jamaica Inn," while Angela wrote children's books, including the popular "The Little White Horse." This photograph offers a glimpse into the du Maurier family's history, showcasing the strong bond between father and daughters. Muriel, who passed away in 1957, is often overlooked in the family's narrative, but her presence in this image underscores the importance of her role as a mother and wife. The year 1917 marked a significant period in the family's history, as Gerald continued to make strides in his career, and his daughters began to establish themselves as writers. This portrait, with its timeless beauty and emotional resonance, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of family and the enduring influence of a father's love and support on the lives of his children.
