EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Widowed and Fatherless" transports us back to the late 19th century. The artist, Thomas Benjamin Kennington, skillfully captures a poignant scene that tugs at our heartstrings. The image showcases a somber interior of a bedroom where two young girls are seen sitting on their beds. Their faces reveal an overwhelming sense of loss and sorrow as they grapple with the reality of being fatherless. The room itself exudes an air of melancholy, with its muted tones and minimal decor. Kennington's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into the print conveys raw emotion. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the weight of their grief permeating through the paper. "Widowed and Fatherless" was exhibited in the prestigious Royal Academy, attesting to its artistic merit. It also gained recognition when it was featured in The Illustrated London News in October 1888. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by widowed women left to raise children alone during this era. It invites us to reflect on themes such as resilience, family bonds, and societal challenges. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. Through this print, we are transported back in time while simultaneously acknowledging timeless human experiences that continue to resonate today.
