EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "At rest" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when death and mortality were often depicted in art. Created by William Small, this print captures a serene scene within a city cemetery or churchyard. The image portrays a solemn resting place adorned with tombstones, crypts, and sepulchres. The artist's attention to detail is evident as each element is intricately engraved, showcasing his skillful craftsmanship. The composition exudes an atmosphere of tranquility and contemplation. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. It serves as a poignant memento mori - a visual reminder that our time on earth is limited. The choice to present this piece in black and white adds to its somber tone while emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. This technique enhances the overall mood of reflection and introspection. "At rest" was originally created as an illustration for The Quiver magazine in 1876. Its inclusion in private collections allows us to appreciate Small's talent beyond its original publication context. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable work from the late nineteenth century for contemporary audiences to admire its historical significance. Through this print, we can reflect on our own mortality while appreciating the artistic mastery displayed by William Small.
