Florence Parbury, traveller and war worker
Florence Parbury, described by the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News as one of our most versatile and accomplished women, and a great traveller. In Canada she camped, climbed, rode on a cayuse through the Rockies, trekked up the Thompson River - the first white woman to be seen on its banks - with a train of twelve horses and six guides and packers; sometimes she guided her own canoe on the river, shooting the rapids, and taking all the risks of a journey in the wilds. Author of a book on India - An Emerald Set with Pearls. She also composed an operetta founded on a Kashmir romance. When the First World War broke out she nursed for eight months in France under the Croix Rouge and then gave entertainments to thousands of men in hospitals and huts as well as in her own Jacobean Studio in London. She was, again, according to the ISDN, the possessor of a fine singing voice of unusual compass.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Florence Parbury: A Versatile and Accomplished Woman - Traveler, War Worker, Singer, and Writer This photograph captures the spirit of Florence Parbury, a remarkable woman who defied conventions and explored the world with unyielding determination. Described by the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News as one of our most versatile and accomplished women, Parbury's adventurous spirit led her to the far reaches of the globe. In Canada, she embraced the wilderness, camping, climbing, and riding through the Rockies on a cayuse. She trekked up the Thompson River, becoming the first white woman to be seen on its banks. Parbury even guided her own canoe on the river, braving the rapids and taking all the risks of a journey in the wilds. Parbury's thirst for knowledge and experience extended beyond the natural world. She authored a book on India, titled "An Emerald Set with Pearls," and composed an operetta based on a Kashmir romance. When the First World War broke out, Parbury's spirit of service took her to France, where she nursed for eight months under the Croix Rouge. Her dedication to the war effort did not end there. She went on to entertain thousands of men in hospitals and huts, as well as in her own Jacobean Studio in London. Parbury's talents were many. She was not only an intrepid traveler and pioneering woman, but also a gifted singer with an unusual compass. This photograph is a testament to her indomitable spirit and the many hats she wore throughout her extraordinary life. This image is from the archives of the Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans, and is a poignant reminder of a remarkable woman who lived a life full of adventure, creativity, and service.
