EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Divine Service for Shepherds and Herdsmen, a Study at the Berners Hall, Islington" transports us back to 19th century London. Created by renowned artist Hubert von Herkomer in 1872, this print captures a scene of religious devotion amidst the bustling city. The image depicts a group of shepherds and herdsmen gathered inside Berners Hall, located in the vibrant district of Islington. These agricultural workers have taken time away from their rural duties to attend divine service, seeking solace and spiritual guidance within the walls of this humble church. Herkomer's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each individual with distinct facial expressions and postures that reflect their devotion. The solemn atmosphere is further enhanced by the play of light and shadow throughout the hall. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration in The Graphic on January 20th, 1872. It offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of these hardworking individuals who found solace in religion despite their demanding occupations. Now preserved in a private collection, this historical artwork serves as a poignant reminder of faith's enduring power even amidst urbanization and industrialization. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the importance placed on spirituality during times when life was often challenging for those living on society's fringes.
