EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the heart-wrenching grief of a bereaved mother in 1872. Inspired by the American Civil War, which tore apart the United States between 1861 and 1865, this image is part of a book that also includes portraits of fallen soldiers from the war. The engraving is taken from "A Child's History of the United States" by John Gilmary Shea, published by Hess and McDavitt in New York. In this somber scene, we witness a sorrowful woman standing beside a coffin, her face etched with pain and loss. Her eyes are filled with tears as she mourns the untimely death of her child. This powerful portrayal encapsulates not only personal grief but also reflects on the wider impact that war has on families and communities. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the solemnity of the image, emphasizing its historical significance as it transports us back to America's nineteenth century. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted bereavement was during those tumultuous times. Through this photograph, we glimpse into an era where mothers like her endured unimaginable suffering for their country. It symbolizes both individual tragedy and collective sacrifice—a testament to resilience amidst adversity. As we contemplate this haunting artwork, let us remember all those who have suffered through wars throughout history—mothers who have lost their children, families torn apart—and strive for peace so that no more mothers need bear such unbearable grief again.
