EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print titled "Bereaved" we are transported back to the 19th century, where artist Frank Holl captures a moment of profound sorrow and grief. The engraving depicts a widowed mother mourning the loss of her child, surrounded by other children who seem unaware of her pain. The image evokes a range of emotions as we witness the rawness of human suffering. The mother's face is etched with deep lines of sadness, her eyes filled with unsoothed emotion. She clings tightly to her tiny babe, seeking comfort in its presence despite knowing it cannot fill the void left by her loss. Holl masterfully portrays the contrast between hope and despair through his use of light and shadow. While there is an undeniable heaviness in this scene, there is also a glimmer of resilience shining through. The bereaved mother mourneth but remains unbeguiled by despair; she carries on for the sake of those around her. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder that grief knows no boundaries or time periods. It speaks to our universal capacity for love and loss, resonating with anyone who has experienced such heartache firsthand. "Bereaved" invites us to reflect on our own experiences with mourning while reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there can be glimpses of strength and hope amidst the tears.
