Anthony Hope Hawkins (1863-1933), novelist and playwright, formal studio portrait smoking cigarette. Captioned, The After-Dinner Speaker Par Excellence: a portrait study of a famous orator and man of letters'. With description, A camera picture by Hoppe of the famous Ruritanian author who not infrequently smokes a cigarette (as shown), and is, in addition to being a delightful writer, an after-dinner speaker of great value. His impromptus are generally gems. His personality is infectiously buoyant; his good humour imperturbable. He once dumbfounded the American interviewers, on landing in New York, by explaining that he had gone over there for rest! He is the son of an Anglican vicar, and is the nephew of the late Mr Justice Hawkins. Date: 1910
