In the late 1800s to early 1900s she traveled extensively across Asia, writing, photographing and publishing several books.
She was one of the only women photographers employed by National Geographic and would later become the first woman board member of the magazine.
Japan was of particular interest to Scidmore, who visited numerous times and captured everyday life in Japan over 100 years ago.
