EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures the remarkable Mrs. Elizabeth Fry, an influential figure in 19th-century England. Painted by George Richmond around 1843, this portrait showcases her dignified presence and unwavering commitment to social reform. Mrs. Fry was not only a prison reformer but also a devout Quaker and Christian philanthropist. Her tireless efforts led to significant changes in legislation that aimed to improve the treatment of prisoners, making it more humane. Such dedication earned her a place on the Bank of England £5 note since 2001. In this image, Mrs. Fry is depicted wearing a bonnet and shawl, reflecting the fashion of her time while symbolizing her modesty and devotion to religious values. Holding a book in one hand, she exudes intelligence and knowledge as she fought for justice within the legal system. The direct gaze captured by Richmond reveals Mrs. Fry's determination and strength of character as she challenged societal norms during an era when women had limited influence or power. This print from Bibbys Annual 1912 serves as both a historical document showcasing an important individual who shaped British society and an artistic representation that immortalizes Mrs. Elizabeth Fry's legacy as a champion for social change through philanthropy, compassion, and relentless activism.
