EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a funerary monument dating back to 1800. Crafted from marble by the talented artist John Bacon, this masterpiece can be found in St. James Church, Montego Bay, Jamaica. The photograph, taken by eLucinda Lambton and now out of copyright, beautifully showcases the religious and Christian symbolism present in this artwork. The focal point of this image is a touching scene depicting a mother pelican feeding her young ones in their nest. This symbolic representation evokes themes of charity and kindness towards others. The pelican has long been associated with self-sacrifice as it was believed that during times of scarcity, the bird would pierce its own breast to feed its offspring with its blood. In addition to the poignant imagery, an inscription on the monument adds another layer of significance. It bears the signature of John Bacon himself, serving as a testament to his craftsmanship and artistic vision. Overall, this print not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also invites contemplation on themes such as motherhood, sacrifice, and compassion. Lucinda Lambton's skillful photography ensures that every detail is preserved for viewers to appreciate and reflect upon for years to come.
