EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Louisa May Alcott, a prominent 19th-century American novelist. The portrait, created around 1885 by an unknown artist from the American School, showcases Alcott's remarkable features and Victorian elegance. Louisa May Alcott was not only a talented writer but also an influential figure in various social movements of her time. As an abolitionist and feminist, she advocated for equality and emancipation, using her powerful words to challenge societal norms. Her most famous work, "Little Women" continues to inspire generations with its timeless themes of sisterhood and personal growth. In this engraving, Alcott is depicted in a beautiful Victorian costume that reflects the fashion trends of the era. Her thoughtful gaze suggests both intelligence and determination as she gazes into the distance. This image perfectly encapsulates her role as a trailblazing female writer who defied conventions to pursue her passion for literature. Preserved at the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University, this print serves as a reminder of Alcott's enduring legacy. It stands as a testament to her contributions not only to literature but also to social justice causes that continue to resonate today.
