EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Margaret Finch, the renowned Queen of the Gipsies, in her regal attire at Norwood in South London during the 18th century. The photograph, taken around 1740, showcases Margaret with two of her beloved pets - one being a diminutive dog, smaller than a tankard, that adds to the enchanting scene. Margaret Finch, also known as 'Margery' or 'Meg' Finch, was a centenarian gipsy leader who lived through the tumultuous times of the 17th and 18th centuries. Born around 1632, she rose to prominence as the head of the largest gipsy tribe in England during a time when racial tensions and discrimination against the Romani community were rampant. Despite the challenges, Margaret's charisma and strength earned her the respect and loyalty of her people. She was a lover of nature, animals, and freedom, which is evident in her companionship with her faithful dogs. The larger dog, perched at her feet, seems to be keeping a watchful eye over its mistress, while the smaller one, nestled in her arms, is a testament to the deep bond between woman and beast. Margaret Finch was also known for her love of smoking a pipe, which she is depicted holding in this photograph. The pipe not only served as a means of relaxation but was also a symbol of her defiance against societal norms and expectations. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary woman who, despite the adversities faced by her community, managed to maintain her dignity, strength, and love for life. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and resilience of the Romani people and their connection to their animals.
