EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting lithograph, titled "Elfwald's Son Drowned in Windermere AD788" captures a tragic moment frozen in time. Created by Henry A. Payne, also known as Harry Payne, this print from the 1920s is part of a private collection. The image depicts a heart-wrenching scene set against the backdrop of Windermere, England's largest lake. It tells the sorrowful tale of Elfwald's son who met his untimely demise in these very waters during the year 788 AD. Payne's skilled hand brings forth an emotional depth to this historical event. The intricate details and delicate shading evoke a sense of grief and loss that transcends time itself. The artist masterfully conveys the anguish felt by Elfwald through every stroke and line. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, providing visual context to historical events for readers at that time. Now out of copyright, it serves as a poignant reminder of past tragedies and their impact on individuals and communities alike. As we gaze upon this litho today, we are reminded not only of personal loss but also our shared human experience throughout history. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess while honoring those whose lives were forever altered by tragedy centuries ago.
