EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.B. Farnie: A Portrait of Determination and Independence in the 1880s In this portrait, we see the enchanting figure of Alexina de Kelkirsch, a young heiress, boldly gazing at the viewer with a confident and independent air. The image, titled "Falka," was created by renowned English photographer H.B. Farnie during the 1880s, a time when theatrics and operettas held the stage as popular forms of entertainment. Alexina's striking appearance is accentuated by her fashionable attire. She wears a tight-fitting bodice, which emphasizes her slender figure, and a voluminous cape that adds an air of mystery and allure. The intricate detailing on her dress and the delicate lace collar further highlight her elegance and refinement. Despite her privileged status, Alexina's expression suggests a strong-willed and independent spirit. Her piercing gaze and posture exude confidence and determination, hinting at a mind of her own. This image challenges the societal norms of the time, where women were often expected to be demure and submissive. As a popular theatrical figure, Alexina's image would have been widely circulated, inspiring awe and admiration among her contemporaries. Her bold and independent demeanor would have been a refreshing departure from the traditional portrayals of women during this era. Today, "Falka" remains a captivating reminder of the strength and determination of women in the face of societal expectations. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to challenge norms and inspire new perspectives. Date: 1880s Subject: Falka, Alexina de Kelkirsch Artist: H.B.
