EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait etching, titled 'Her Sole Possession,' captures the tender moment of a woman protectively holding her newborn baby, swaddled in a soft blanket, circa 1917. The image, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant representation of the deep bond between mother and child. The print, created by the skilled hand of artist William Lee Hankey, invites the viewer to contemplate the depth of emotion and love that this woman feels as she cradles her sole possession. The woman's gaze is fixed on her child, her expression one of awe, adoration, and utter devotion. The blanket, a symbol of warmth, comfort, and protection, adds an extra layer of significance to the scene. This beautiful etching was originally published in a February volume of a magazine, making it a rare and valuable find for collectors of historical art. The intricate details and masterful shading in the print make it a stunning addition to any collection, serving as a reminder of the profound connection between a mother and her child.
