EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fearless spirit of Mary Henrietta Kingsley, a remarkable traveller and writer who made history as the first woman to journey alone to Africa. In this image, taken in 1896 on the Ogooue River in Gabon, West Central Africa, we see Mary confidently navigating her canoe with a pair of oars in hand.
Mary's independent nature shines through as she rows through the tranquil waters, surrounded by lush greenery and the beauty of nature. Her Victorian-era attire contrasts with the ruggedness of her surroundings, symbolizing her determination to defy societal norms and explore uncharted territories.
As an explorer and adventurer, Mary Kingsley paved the way for future generations of women to follow their dreams and break barriers. Despite distancing herself from feminist movements of her time, she embodied empowerment through her actions and accomplishments.
This historical snapshot from 1896 serves as a reminder of Mary's pioneering spirit and unwavering courage in the face of adversity. Her legacy lives on as an inspiration for all those who dare to venture into the unknown and embrace new experiences with grace and resilience.
