Lady Butler, also known as Elizabeth Thompson, was a trailblazing British painter whose works captured the essence of historical moments and the progression of women in the 19th century. From depicting the bravery of The Royal Scots at Quatre Bras, 1815, to the dispatch-bearers of the Egyptian Camel Corps in 1888, her art brought history to life. Her engravings, such as "A Momento of Her Majestys Jubilee Year, 1887," showcased the societal shifts of the time. Amidst the chaos of war and change, Lady Butler's "The Remnant of an Army," painted in 1901, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost. Her legacy continues to inspire, as we reflect on the past and the ongoing journey of women's progress.
