The Little Mourner
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant engraving captured by the talented artist, Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys. This exquisite print, now part of a private collection, showcases Sandys' exceptional ability to convey emotion through his artwork. Inspired by Henry Alford's poem of the same name, this engraving was created as an illustration for "English Sacred Poetry" edited by Robert Aris Willmott in 1862. The image beautifully captures the essence of grief and loss, reflecting the somber tone of Alford's verse. In this scene, we witness a young child adorned in mourning attire. Their delicate features are etched with sorrow as they stand beside a tombstone adorned with flowers. The intricate details and meticulous shading bring depth and realism to the engraving. Sandys masterfully portrays both innocence and vulnerability in "The Little Mourner". Through their downcast eyes and clasped hands, we can sense their deep sadness and longing for what has been lost. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is beauty to be found within our pain. This historical artwork not only highlights Sandys' artistic prowess but also pays homage to English literature's rich tradition of sacred poetry. Its inclusion in "English Sacred Poetry" further solidifies its significance within the realm of religious art. "The Little Mourner" continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless depiction of grief and resilience. It stands as a testament to both Sandys' talent as an artist and
