EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken around 1890, this portrait captures her elegance and intelligence as she gazes confidently into the camera. Mary Augusta Ward, also known as Mrs. Humphry Ward, was born into an esteemed family. As the granddaughter of Thomas Arnold of Rugby and niece of Matthew Arnold, she inherited a passion for literature and intellectual pursuits. However, it was her groundbreaking novel "Robert Elsmere" that truly propelled her to fame.

The book caused quite a sensation at the time and solidified Mary Augusta Ward's reputation as an influential writer. Beyond her literary accomplishments, Mary Augusta Ward dedicated herself to social work. She believed in using her platform to make positive changes in society and actively worked towards improving the lives of others. In this mesmerizing woodburytype print, we witness not only Mary Augusta Ward's beauty but also glimpse into her profound intellect and unwavering commitment to making a difference in Victorian England.
