EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the likeness of Maria Josefa Salas, the mother of renowned English journalist, George Augustus Sala (1828-1895). Born in Peru in 1805, Maria Josefa Salas was a woman of extraordinary resilience and strength. Her life was marked by adversity, having lost her husband at a young age and raising her children as a single mother in Lima. George Augustus Sala, her youngest son, would go on to become one of the most celebrated journalists of the Victorian era. Known for his colorful and engaging writing style, Sala's works appeared in numerous publications, including The Illustrated London News and The Times. His reports from the Crimean War brought the realities of the conflict to a wide audience, earning him both critical acclaim and a loyal readership. Despite the challenges she faced, Maria Josefa Salas provided her children with a solid education, instilling in them a love for learning and a deep appreciation for the written word. This photograph, taken in 1828, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman whose influence extended far beyond her own time and place. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that a mother's love and dedication can have on the lives of her children, particularly when faced with adversity.
