Day-Lewis, was an Anglo-Irish poet and the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1968 until his death in 1972. He also wrote mystery stories under the pseudonym of Nicholas Blake.

The Portrait of Mr. W. H. "The Portrait of Mr. W. H." is a story written by Oscar Wilde, first published in "Blackwood's Magazine" in 1889. It was later added to the collection "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories", though it does not appear in early editions. An enlarged edition planned by Wilde, almost twice as long as the "Blackwood's" version, with cover illustration by Charles Ricketts, did not proceed and only came to light after Wilde's death. This was published in limited edition by Mitchell Kennerley in New York in 1921, and in a first regular English edition by Methuen in 1958, edited by Vyvyan Holland.
