EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of Lucas Malet, the pen name of Mary St. Leger Kingsley (1852-1931), a celebrated English novelist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph, taken around the turn of the century, reveals a woman of advanced age, yet her intense gaze and heavy eyebrows convey a sense of wisdom, depth, and determination that belies her years. Malet was a prolific writer, producing a body of work that spanned various genres, including fiction, social commentary, and biography. Her novels, which often explored the complexities of human relationships and the intricacies of society, were widely acclaimed for their insight and wit. With her distinctive writing style and unapologetic approach to tackling controversial topics, Malet paved the way for a new generation of women writers and left an indelible mark on English literature. This portrait serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as a trailblazing author and a symbol of the intellectual and artistic achievements of women during the 1900s.
