The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and emotion within the composition. We can almost feel the weight of sorrow as those gathered around his deathbed bid him farewell. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Isaac Taylor's book "Beginnings of Biography" published in 1824 by J Harris.
