EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled 'Three Musketeers of the Brush,' is a stunning example of George du Maurier's artistic mastery, taken from his iconic novel "Trilby" published in 1894. The image showcases three dapper gentlemen, each donning a distinctive Trilby hat, a fashionable accessory of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The hats, with their distinctive indentation at the crown, add an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene, while the men's confident poses suggest an underlying camaraderie and shared secret. Du Maurier's illustrations were an integral part of "Trilby," which is renowned for its exploration of the supernatural and the arts. The novel follows the story of Trilby O'Ferrall, a young artist, and her relationship with the enigmatic Svengali, who uses hypnosis to manipulate her talent and fame. The Three Musketeers of the Brush in this illustration may represent the three main male characters in the novel: Svengali, Little Billee, and Taffy, each contributing to Trilby's journey in their unique ways. This evocative image, created in 1926, is a testament to du Maurier's ability to capture the essence of his characters and the mood of his intriguing narrative. The Three Musketeers of the Brush continue to captivate viewers with their timeless charm and allure, making this illustration a must-have for any collection focusing on literary history, art, or the history of hats.
