EDITORS COMMENTS
In this crayon portrait, we are introduced to Mrs. Emma Glory O'Donnell Griffin, the esteemed wife of Mr. Justice Griffin. Mr. Justice Griffin held a distinguished position as a judge in the High Court of Allahabad during the early 1900s. The Tatler, a renowned society publication of the time, extolled Mrs. Griffin for her significant role in bridging the cultural divide between the East and the West. Mrs. Griffin's hospitality was a beacon of charm and warmth, extending not only to European elites but also to the Indian community. Her graciousness and openness played a pivotal role in lessening the social gulf between the two distinct groups, making her a social leader in the Far East. This portrait is a reproduction of a drawing by the eminent sculptor, Mr. Harvard Thomas. Thomas's artistry masterfully captures the essence of Mrs. Griffin's refined elegance and poise, making this portrait a testament to her enduring legacy. The portrait, created in 1910, offers a glimpse into the rich history of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on the social landscape of the Far East. Mrs. Griffin's story is a reminder of the power of hospitality and cross-cultural understanding in fostering connections and bridging divides. This portrait stands as a symbol of her enduring impact and serves as an inspiration for future generations to continue the work of promoting unity and understanding in a diverse world.
