George Du Maurier Art Pt. I
George Du Maurier was a famous British artist, cartoonist and novelist. He was born in Paris, but came to London to work as a chemist. His first cartoon was published by magazine Punch in 1860. He remained at the staff until his death. Later in his life his eye sight failed, which led him to drop drawing and turning to writing novels. He was the grandfather of the famous British novelist Daphne Du Maurier ('Rebecca'). This page features Part I of the Du Maurier illustrations for his novel, The Martian. |

I took the wrong turning.
The bloodhounds were at my heels.
There was the steamer sinking with all I love below the verge!
I madly plunged, off Cape Jambonneau . . .
[The keys to identifying the story illustrated are the writer's use
ofthe first-person point of view
(only The Martian fits here) and the geographic location (Cape Jambonneau),
which does not match either Trilby, The Martian, or Peter
Ibbetson, the only three novels DuMaurier published.]
