EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured woodcut print depicts Anne Jane Thornton, the remarkable female sailor from the 19th century. Standing proudly in her sailor attire, she challenges traditional gender norms with her adventurous spirit and determination to explore the seas.
The unknown artist has captured Thornton's essence beautifully, showcasing her as a pioneer in a male-dominated profession. Her hat tilted just so, and her gaze fixed on the horizon, she exudes confidence and strength.
As one of the few women sailors of her time, Thornton broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of female explorers. Her story is a testament to resilience and courage in the face of adversity.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this print serves as a reminder of Thornton's legacy and contribution to maritime history. It also highlights the importance of recognizing women's achievements in traditionally male-dominated fields.
Through this artwork, we are invited to celebrate Anne Jane Thornton's pioneering spirit and honor her place in history as a trailblazing sailor who defied expectations and charted her own course on the high seas.
