Larrabee is best known for her photographs of the vanishing tribes of southern Africa, the World War II battlefields of Europe and her life on Maryland's tranquil Eastern Shore. Born in England and raised in Pretoria South Africa, Larrabee studied photography in London and Munich. On her return to South Africa, Larrabee photographed many leading cultural and political figures as well as the Bushman, Zulu, Ndebele, Lovedu, Swazi, Sotho and Transkei peoples. During World War II she served as South Africa's first woman war correspondent. In 1950 Constance Stuart married Sterling Loop Larrabee (an American) and moved to Chestertown MD. She published extensively and her work has appeared in exhibits throughout the world, including Johannesburg and Pretoria Art Galleries; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; and the Corcoran Art Gallery, the Smithsonian American Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of African Art in Washington D.C. Culminating her relationship with Washington College in Chestertown Maryland, Larabee established the Constance Stuart Larabee Arts Center in 1990. Yale University staged a 120-picture retrospective in 1995 at the Yale Center for British Art, presenting the breadth of her work. In 1997, Larrabee donated her African images to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African Art, her World War II photographs to the Corcoran Gallery and her photographs of the Eastern Shore to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. All three institutions simultaneously exhibited those collections in 1998. In addition to her photography, Larrabee was a pioneering breeder of Norwich and Norfolk Terriers under the King's Prevention prefix.
