Sepia-coloured studio photograph on 19 x 14 cm card. Backed on the reverse with brown paper on which are printed the details of the photographic studio responsible, Swaine's of London and Southsea. The print itself is in good condition, lightly aged and worn; the reverse is heavily-worn with traces of glue from previous mounting. Vachell has written his underlined signature in black ink diagonally upwards at the bottom right-hand corner: 'Horace Annesley Vachell.' This studio photograph of Vachell is not present in the National Portrait Gallery collection. It shows a seated and somewhat smug-looking Vachell, in tweedy jacket and waistcoat, with bow tie, white shirt with stiff collar, and checked trousers, with papers on his lap over crossed legs. It bears out the words of L. A. G. Strong, who writes in his entry on Vachell in the Oxford DNB that he 'had at all times a distinguished appearance, particularly in his later years, when his noble head and silvery hair gave him both dignity and panache'.…

Horace Annesley Vachell (1861 - 1955) was a prolific writer of novels, plays, and essays, beginning with 'A Drama in Sunshine' (1898) and ending with 'Averil' in 1945. Educated at Harrow and Sandhurst, Vachell later traveled to America, where he married, became a partner in a land company, and is often credited with introducing the game of Polo to Southern California. Returning to England at the turn of the century, Vachell began to write, mostly inspired by his early life and friendships at Harrow, one of the most popular being 'The Hill' (1905) which explores themes of friendship, youth and identity whilst boarding at the prestigious English school. Vachell also penned a number of successful plays, of which 'Lord Camber's Ladies' (1932) was adapted into film by Alfred Hitchcock. In 1914, he produced the comedy-drama play 'Quinneys', which became one of his most successful works. Following the exploits of Joseph Quinney, an endearing but stubborn patriarch of a family of antiques dealers, it led to a series of novels following the family's adventures, of which this is the second in the series. The main character Joseph Quinney is based on the real-life antique dealer Thomas Rohan (1860-1940). Often compared with John Galsworthy for his quintessentially British writing, his works remain little-known today, though early copies such as this are considerably scarce in the wrapper.
