EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Mrs Benedict Birkbeck, formerly known as Jacqueline Harriet Alexander, is seen bidding farewell to her homeland as she embarks on an extraordinary adventure to Africa. Taken by the renowned British photographer Madame Yevonde in 1926, this image captures the spirit of a woman on the brink of a transformative journey. Born in 1892, Jacqueline Alexander was a member of London's high society. However, her restless spirit yearned for something more than the confines of her privileged life. With dreams of opening a "store" in Africa, she prepared to embark on a journey that would take her far from the familiar comforts of her English upbringing. The enigmatic expression on Jacqueline's face in this portrait hints at the excitement and trepidation she must have felt as she set sail for the African continent. Her elegant attire, with its flowing scarf and wide-brimmed hat, speaks to the adventurous spirit that drove her to leave behind her old life. Little did anyone know that this journey would lead Jacqueline to marry Bror, Baron von Blixen, a renowned big game hunter. Their tumultuous marriage, which was later chronicled in Isak Dinesen's memoir "Out of Africa," would become a legend in its own right. This hauntingly beautiful portrait of Mrs Benedict Birkbeck, taken by Madame Yevonde in 1926, stands as a testament to the power of curiosity and the allure of the unknown. It invites us to reflect on the courage and determination of a woman who dared to leave behind the familiar and embrace the unknown.
