1892 1983 Journalist Novelist Rebecca Signature
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and intellectually brilliant figure of Rebecca West (1892-1983), a British journalist and novelist, in an intimate moment. The image, taken in 1983, shows West holding a cigarillo in one hand and her signature hat in the other. The creases on her face, the intensity in her gaze, and the furrowed brow suggest a woman deep in thought or engaged in animated conversation. Rebecca West, born Cicely Isabel Fairfield, was a prolific writer and journalist whose works spanned various genres, including novels, travelogues, and biographies. Her journalistic career began in the 1920s, and she quickly gained a reputation for her incisive reporting and fearless investigative journalism. West's most famous works include the novels "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon" and "The Fountain Overflows," as well as her groundbreaking reportage on the Yugoslavia-Albania border during World War II, which was published in The New Statesman. This photograph is a testament to West's enduring legacy as a trailblazing journalist and novelist. The signature hat, a distinctive accessory that became synonymous with her public image, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. The cigarillo, a seemingly casual addition to the photograph, underscores West's unconventional and rebellious spirit. As we reflect on this image of Rebecca West, we are reminded of her remarkable contributions to literature and journalism, and the indelible mark she left on history.
