MAA Facebook: Image published on with the caption: "Travel writer and painter, Constance Gordon-Cumming (pictured below) was born on this day, 26 May 1837. She created over one thousand watercolors and was one of the most enterprising and intrepid travellers of her time – no easy task for a self-taught Victorian lady. MAA now houses many artworks she drew or painted while in the Pacific, including those pictured here. Happy 180th birthday Constance!
