EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant and heart-wrenching print titled "Orphans at Mothers Grave" captures the sorrowful scene of two young children standing beside their mother's tomb. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this colour lithograph evokes a deep sense of loss and grief. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for Bubbles edited by Dr Barnardo in 1900. It showcases the harsh reality faced by orphans during that time period, highlighting the devastating impact of losing a parent. In this somber depiction, we see a little girl holding a delicate flower in her hand, symbolizing both beauty and fragility. The botanical elements add depth to the composition, emphasizing themes of nature's cycle and life's impermanence. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring attention to the innocence of childhood amidst tragedy. The contrast between bright hues and dark undertones creates a striking visual effect, further enhancing the emotional impact conveyed through this artwork. As we gaze upon this powerful piece from the late nineteenth century, it serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the enduring bond between parent and child. It invites us to reflect on themes such as family, death, resilience, and hope even in times of great adversity.
