George Du Maurier, Illustrator and Novelist |
 | | George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, born in Paris on the 6th of March, 1834, was raised on the myth that his family's lineage could be traced back to the 12th century. |
| | Du Maurier and Harper's consequently parted company for a time, until Bowker was succeeded by James Ripley Osgood, who persuaded Du Maurier to contribute cartoons in 1886, and eventually the novel Peter Ibbetsonin 1889. |
| | Du Maurier focuses most of the sexuality in this novel upon two things: Trilby's famous foot, which, in paintings, sculptures, and in the flesh is adored by Little Billee and her other admirers; and upon the relationship between Svengali and Trilby. |
