EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the tragic event that unfolded on October 18,1859, at The Monument in London. Titled "Latest and fullest particulars of the dreadful suicide from The Monument (engraving)" this image takes us back to a time when photography was still in its infancy. The engraving depicts the lifeless body of Robert Donaldson Hawes, a young and infatuated youth who met his untimely demise by precipitating himself from The Monument. Standing tall against the city skyline, this iconic statue witnessed a heartbreaking end to a troubled soul. The details surrounding Hawes' death are revealed through an accompanying text, which sheds light on the inquest held on his body. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel a sense of sorrow for this lost youth and ponder what could have driven him to such despair. Through its stark composition and meticulous detailing, this print invites us to reflect upon themes of mortality, mental health struggles, and societal pressures that may have contributed to Hawes' fateful decision. It serves as a poignant reminder that even historical events can continue to resonate with us today. As we delve into the depths of history captured within this image by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's collection, let us remember not only the individual tragedy it portrays but also our collective responsibility towards compassion and understanding in our own time.
