EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the enchanting backdrop of the Alhambra's Court of Lions in Granada, Spain, a group of intrepid female photographers are at work in this image from 1890. As photography began to emerge from its infancy and evolve into a respected art form, women played an increasingly significant role in its development. By the late 19th century, photography was no longer viewed as an exclusively male domain, and many women embraced the medium as a suitable and even fashionable occupation. The women in this photograph, dressed in their finest November attire, are deeply engrossed in their craft. Some are posing their subjects, while others are adjusting their cameras or developing their prints. The Court of Lions, with its intricate Moorish architecture and the majestic lions that flank the central fountain, provides a stunning backdrop for their creative endeavors. The presence of these women in this setting challenges the traditional gender roles of the time and offers a glimpse into the growing acceptance of women in the world of photography. This image, captured in the heart of the Alhambra, serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of these early female photographers and their pursuit of artistic expression.
