EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Henrietta Elizabeth Vaughan Stannard, better known by her pen name John Strange Winter, in the quiet intimacy of her West Kensington study. Dressed in a simple blouse and with her hair pulled back, the author appears deep in thought, her gaze fixed on an unseen point beyond the camera's lens. The room around her is filled with the trappings of a literary life: books stacked haphazardly on shelves, a typewriter perched on a table, and a cozy fireplace that beckons with its warmth. Born in 1856, Henrietta was a prolific writer whose works spanned various genres, including novels, short stories, and poetry. Married to Arthur Stannard, she chose to write under the male pseudonym to avoid the prejudice against female authors in the late Victorian era. Her decision paid off, as her works gained critical acclaim and a wide readership. The photograph, taken in 1904, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable woman. With a quill pen in hand and a stack of papers at her side, she seems to be in the midst of crafting another masterpiece. The study, with its worn leather-bound books and faded wallpaper, speaks to the passage of time and the enduring power of the written word. Henrietta's life and work continue to inspire readers and writers alike, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the solitary yet rewarding journey of the literary life. Whether lost in thought or in the midst of creation, Henrietta Stannard, or John Strange Winter, remains a testament to the enduring power of the written word and the indomitable spirit of the author.
