"Trilby Hypnotised by Svengali" is a notable illustration by George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, a French-born British author and cartoonist, most renowned for his novel "Trilby." The illustration is a key visual representation within the novel, capturing one of its most pivotal moments: the hypnotism of the protagonist, Trilby O'Ferrall, by the enigmatic character Svengali. This scene is central to the narrative, illustrating the power dynamics and the psychological manipulation that are recurring themes throughout the story.

Published in 1894, "Trilby" became a sensation in Victorian England and contributed significantly to the popular culture of the time. The character of Svengali became synonymous with the concept of a malevolent influence or control over another, particularly in a way that exploits or manipulates talent. The illustration not only encapsulates the essence of Du Maurier's narrative but also visually conveys the themes of mesmerism, submission, and the exploitation of artistic talent that are explored in the text.

Du Maurier's work as an illustrator and writer often intertwined, with his illustrations serving to complement and enhance his written narratives. "Trilby Hypnotised by Svengali" is a prime example of this synergy, offering readers a visual entry point into the novel's themes and the psychological depth of its characters. The artwork is executed in Du Maurier's detailed and expressive style, which was characteristic of his illustrations for "Punch" magazine and his other literary works.

This illustration, and the novel as a whole, had a lasting impact on the arts and popular culture, influencing the creation of similar narratives and characters in literature and other media. The term "Svengali" has entered the English language as a noun to describe a person who, with evil intent, tries to persuade another to do what is desired. As such, "Trilby Hypnotised by Svengali" is not only a significant piece of Victorian literature and illustration but also a cultural artifact that reflects the fascinations and anxieties of its time.
