EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "An old crone stooping over a kettle" we are transported to a bygone era, immersing ourselves in the rich history of village life. The colour litho, created by Charles Edmund Brock, beautifully captures a poignant moment that resonates with both nostalgia and intrigue. The image portrays an elderly woman, affectionately referred to as a crone, hunched over a kettle. Her weathered face tells tales of wisdom and experience accumulated throughout her long life. With every wrinkle etched on her skin, she carries the weight of time and tradition. As she stoops over the kettle, we can almost hear the crackling fire beneath it and smell the comforting aroma wafting through the air. It is within these simple domestic scenes that we find solace in our shared humanity. This illustration was originally featured in Mary Russell Mitford's book "Our Village" published in 1904. Through its inclusion here, it serves as a visual representation of Mitford's vivid descriptions of rural life during that period. With its historical significance and attention to detail, this print invites us to reflect upon our own connection to the past while celebrating the resilience and beauty found within everyday moments.
