Leaves from a Sketch-Book - Bits of Kent: Yew-Tree, Horton Kirby, 1876. Creator: Unknown
Leaves from a Sketch-Book - Bits of Kent: Yew-Tree, Horton Kirby, 1876. The roadside churchyard of Horton Kirby is quite refreshing and even inviting to mortal repose, with its comfortable, plump rolls of soft green turf, like the bedding of an infant's couch snugly tucked up. I feel it would be nice to be dead and buried there. I would not live to the age of that ancient yew-tree, with its decayed and shattered trunk a mere fragment, but its branches still in leaf overhanging the stone coverlets of two or three more ambitious graves. It has experienced hundreds of winters and summers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Leaves from a Sketch-Book - Bits of Kent: Yew-Tree, Horton Kirby, 1876,' showcases the beauty and tranquility of an old English cemetery. The roadside churchyard of Horton Kirby in Kent, England, is depicted as a serene and inviting resting place, with its lush, green grass resembling the cozy bedding of an infant's couch. The speaker expresses a desire to be buried there, finding comfort in the thought of joining the ancient yew-tree, which stands as a testament to the passage of time. The tree's gnarled and decayed trunk, a mere fragment, contrasts with its full and vibrant branches that shelter the graves beneath. This ancient yew-tree, which has witnessed countless winters and summers, adds a sense of history and reverence to the scene. This evocative engraving was published in the 'Illustrated London News' in 1876 and offers a glimpse into the rural, rustic charm of 19th-century England. The image, with its intricate details and nuanced shading, captures the essence of regionalism and the connection between nature and death.
