EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs. Humphrey Ward, a prominent British novelist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The portrait, taken in 1890 by W&D Downey, exudes elegance and intelligence as it captures the essence of Mary Augusta Arnold (1851-1920), who wrote under her married name of Mrs. Humphry Ward. In this image from "Bibbys Annual 1914" edited by Joseph Bibby, we see a distinguished lady whose literary contributions have left an indelible mark on British literature. With her piercing gaze and poised demeanor, she embodies the strength and determination that characterized women writers during this era. Mary Augusta Arnold's talent as an author shines through in this monochrome photograph. Known for her thought-provoking novels that explored social issues prevalent in Victorian society, she became one of Britain's most celebrated female writers. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of the significant role women played in shaping literature during a time when their voices were often marginalized. This image serves as a tribute to Mary Augusta Arnold's remarkable career as well as a testament to the enduring power of words. The print collector has preserved this piece of history for us to appreciate today—a reminder not only of Mrs. Humphrey Ward's legacy but also of the countless other talented women who defied societal norms to make their mark on the world through their writing.
