EDITORS COMMENTS
This carte-de-visite (CDV) features Henrietta Keddie, better known by her pen name Sarah Tytler, a renowned Scottish writer of children's books during the early 20th century. Born on October 12, 1827, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Keddie began her literary career in the 1850s, writing poetry and short stories for various publications. However, she gained widespread acclaim for her work in children's literature, penning over 100 books that continue to enchant readers to this day. One of her most popular works, "The Fairy Bower," was first published in 1855 and has since been reprinted numerous times. Keddie's stories often featured magical elements, fairies, and other fantastical creatures, making them beloved by children and adults alike. Her ability to weave tales that captured the imagination and transported readers to other worlds was unparalleled. Despite her success as a writer, little is known about Keddie's personal life. She lived a quiet and private life, preferring to let her stories speak for themselves. This CDV, taken around 1914, offers a rare glimpse into the face of the woman behind the beloved children's books. With her kind and gentle expression, Keddie exudes a sense of warmth and approachability, making it easy to imagine her as the creator of countless magical stories that have brought joy to generations of readers. This photograph is a precious historical artifact, providing a tangible connection to a time when the power of the written word could transport readers to far-off lands and enchanting realms. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of children's literature and the importance of the imagination in shaping our worldview.
