Alexandre Dumas
On a bit of an Alexandre Dumas kick.
He is the acclaimed 1840s French adventure author of #CountofMonteCristo, #ThreeMusketeers and the #ManInTheIronMask.
Dumas popularized the use of serials in newspapers to share his stories that were later republished as novels and movies. #feuilletons

After one watches "The Three Musketeers", one watches "The Man in the Iron Mask". These're the rules.

What people/work tell me to wear so I’m not so off putting lol. It works in my case. I’m treated a lot better at least 😝 #manintheironmask #eric
The weather may be horrible this week in Cannes (there’s a thunderstorm going on overhead right now ⚡️), but that hasn’t stopped me island-hopping. Today I headed over to Ile Sainte-Marguerite, the largest of the Lerins islands #cannes #lerinsislands #manintheironmask
The exterior of the block that included the Man in the Iron Mask’s cell in Fort Royal on Ile Saint-Marguerite close to Cannes. I think it’s safe to say that, for whatever reason, Louis XIV was very keen that this mysterious prisoner did not escape #manintheironmask #cannes
Amongst the wall paintings in the cell of the Man in the Iron Mask at Fort Royal, Ile Sainte-Marguerite off the coast of Cannes, is this seemingly masked face. A self-portrait? #manintheironmask #themanintheironmask #cannes
Remains of wall paintings discovered in cell of the Man in the Iron Mask in Fort Royal, Ile Sainte-Marguerite off the coast of Cannes, where he was held from 1687-98. The largest image is probably the wedding at Cana, but the others are unexplained #manintheironmask #ilesaintemarguerite #cannes
Standing in the Man in the Iron Mask’s cell in Fort Royal on Ile Sainte-Marguerite, off coast from Cannes. He was imprisoned here 11 years, with cell window looking out over a 22m drop. Largely forbidden from communication, his identity remains mysterious #cannes #lerinsislands #manintheironmask
In an age of increasing digital presence, the idea of masking one’s identity may evolve into something more complex, influenced by technologies that can both conceal and reveal our personal truths.
