EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the remarkable Lady Florence Baker, a woman ahead of her time. Born in 1841 and passing away in 1916, Lady Baker was the wife of Sir Samuel White Baker, an English explorer known for his extensive exploration of Central Africa in search of the source of the Nile River.
In this image from 1873, Lady Florence Baker is depicted with a sense of determination and grace as she joined her husband on their historical journey through Africa. Despite John Speke and James Grant beating them to finding the source first, Samuel Baker was able to claim to be the first European to discover Albert Nyanza; one of the largest lakes on the Nile.
Lady Florence's presence by her husband's side during such a challenging expedition speaks volumes about her courage and adventurous spirit. Her contribution to this important chapter in history should not be overlooked.
This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of Lady Florence Baker's significant role in exploration and discovery during a time when women were often relegated to supporting roles. Her legacy lives on through images like these that capture her essence as a pioneering figure in African exploration.
