EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back in time to the year 1843, where we meet Agnes Smith Lewis. The photograph beautifully captures her striking features and confident gaze, revealing a woman ahead of her time. Agnes, along with her twin sister Margaret Dunlop Gibson, were Scottish Semitic scholars who made significant contributions to biblical studies. The composition showcases Agnes as an individual full of intellect and determination. Her piercing eyes seem to hold a wealth of knowledge and curiosity about the world around her. With every detail meticulously captured by photographer Ken Welsh, we can appreciate the intricate patterns on her dress that reflect both elegance and simplicity. Agnes's dedication to scholarship is evident through her work alongside Margaret at Westminster College in Cambridge. Together they became renowned for their expertise in ancient languages such as Syriac and Arabic. Their groundbreaking translations shed light on previously undiscovered texts from early Christianity. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the remarkable achievements made by women like Agnes Smith Lewis during an era when female scholars faced numerous challenges in pursuing their passions. It stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to education and intellectual pursuits. Ken Welsh's skillful illustration allows us to glimpse into history while honoring the legacy of these extraordinary sisters whose impact continues to resonate within academic circles today.
