EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled 'Women's Life-school' by Bertha Newcombe, offers a glimpse into the world of female artists at work during the late 19th century. The image, created in 1895, depicts a group of women artists intently focused on their easels, their brushes dancing across the canvas as they bring their creations to life. In the background, a life model poses, providing the inspiration for these artistic endeavors. Bertha Newcombe herself is believed to have studied at the esteemed Slade School of Art in London and, according to some accounts, later at the Academie Colarossi in Paris. Her first-hand experience of the rigors and rewards of art education is evident in this evocative scene. The illustration is a testament to the determination and passion of these women artists, who defied societal expectations and pursued their artistic dreams in a male-dominated field. The 1890s, a time of great change and progress, saw an increasing number of women enrolling in art schools and making their mark in the art world. Newcombe's illustration captures the essence of this vibrant and dynamic community of artists, their shared dedication to their craft, and the camaraderie that no doubt sustained them through the challenges they faced. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of women in the late 19th century and the invaluable contributions they made to the world of art.
