EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alice Cornwell, a remarkable woman ahead of her time. Taken in 1885 by the talented photographer Herbert Rose Barraud, this portrait captures Alice's commanding presence and determination. Alice Anne Cornwell (1852-1932) was not your typical Victorian lady. She defied societal expectations by becoming an English goldmining industrialist and newspaper proprietor. With a shrewd business acumen, she owned several goldmines in Australia and made headlines when she acquired the Sunday Times newspaper in 1887. Known as "Princess Midas". Alice possessed an uncanny ability to turn everything she touched into gold. Her entrepreneurial spirit and financial prowess set her apart from her contemporaries, making her a true trailblazer for women in business. In this three-quarter-length portrait, we see Alice exuding confidence and intelligence. Dressed elegantly in Victorian attire, she commands attention with her piercing gaze. The photograph beautifully captures both her strength as a businesswoman and the resilience required to navigate male-dominated industries such as mining. This stunning image serves as a testament to Alice Cornwell's indomitable spirit and unwavering determination. It is a reminder that even during an era when women faced numerous obstacles, there were those like Alice who shattered glass ceilings with their ambition and tenacity.
