EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mrs Girling" captures the essence of a remarkable woman who played a significant role in the Shaker community during the 19th century. The image showcases Mrs Girling, affectionately known as the "Mother" of the Shakers, with an air of wisdom and grace. The delicate lines and intricate details in this print bring to life her kind yet determined expression. It is evident that Mrs Girling was a pillar of strength within her community, guiding and nurturing those around her. This particular illustration was featured in The Graphic on September 25th, 1886. A testament to her impact on society, it serves as a tribute to Mrs Girling's legacy after she passed away just days before its publication on September 18th of that same year. Although little information is available about Mrs Girling beyond her association with the Shakers and her age at passing (60 years old), this engraving immortalizes her memory for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the profound influence one person can have on their community. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. Through their efforts, we are able to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind this engraving but also pay homage to an extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on history.
