Isabella Bird, Femme exploratrice #5

Volume 5 of Taiga Sassa's Isabella Bird, Femme exploratrice finds the intrepid traveler front and center, wrapped in a boldly patterned tartan shawl, blue hat tilted at a confident angle, and journal in hand — every inch the determined explorer. Behind her, a lively Victorian street scene unfolds, with period-dressed passersby and a compass-framed Edinburgh vignette etched at the bottom, making it clear the journey has taken her to Scotland. Ki-oon's 2018 edition presents Sassa's detailed, atmospheric artwork at its most inviting, beautifully capturing the spirit of a woman writing her own story one destination at a time.
