EDITORS COMMENTS
With Lippes as Cold as any Stone, They Kist The Children Small, c1878. In this poignant photo print, we witness a tragic scene from the 19th century. The dying parents bid their beloved babes a farewell kiss while their uncle pretends to grieve. This heart-wrenching moment is inspired by a ballad dating back to the 17th century and depicts the story of Wayland Hall's owner in Norfolk. The tale unfolds with the father's untimely demise, leaving his infant son and daughter under the care of his brother. However, an inheritance clause stipulates that if both children perish before their uncle, he would inherit their wealth. Initially driven by duty and family affection, the uncle takes on the responsibility of raising them for a year. But alas! Greed eventually overcomes him, overshadowing any sense of obligation or love for his niece and nephew. It is within this context that we find ourselves witnessing this heartbreaking farewell between parent and child. Illustrated by Randolph Caldecott in London around 1878, this artwork captures not only the innocence of childhood but also explores themes of loss, betrayal, and human frailty. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, Caldecott brings to life this tragic episode from literature. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how greed can corrupt even familial bonds – a timeless cautionary tale that continues to resonate with audiences across generations.
