EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and brilliant Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime, in 1924, holding a Rhodesian carving. Agatha Christie, born in Torquay, Devon, England, in 1890, would go on to become the best-selling novelist of all time and a towering figure in literary history. At the time this photograph was taken, she was already well on her way to establishing herself as a master of the mystery genre. The Rhodesian carving, a symbol of colonial Africa, adds an intriguing layer to the image. Agatha Christie's connection to Africa is not well-known, but she did spend a significant amount of time there during her marriage to Archibald Christie between 1914 and 1928. They lived in Cape Town, South Africa, where she wrote several of her early novels, including "The Secret Adversary" and "The Man in the Brown Suit." The carving, with its intricate details and rich, earthy tones, stands in stark contrast to the elegant and refined Agatha Christie, dressed in a simple yet stylish dress and holding the carving with a sense of curiosity and wonder. The photograph, taken in 1924, captures a moment in time when Agatha Christie was on the cusp of international fame and success. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the life of a literary icon and a reminder of the rich history that continues to inspire and captivate us. The Rhodesian carving, a symbol of a bygone era, adds an intriguing layer to the story of Agatha Christie and her enduring legacy as a master of the mystery genre.
