EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "But in his duty, prompt at every call, he watched and wept, he prayed and felt for all" by William Lee Hankey portrays a poignant scene that evokes deep emotions. The image showcases the unwavering dedication of a clergyman fulfilling his duties with utmost sincerity. In this beautifully crafted color lithograph, Hankey skillfully captures the essence of religious devotion. The priest is depicted as an empathetic figure who watches over his flock with compassion and sheds tears for their sorrows. His prayers are heartfelt and encompassing, reaching out to all those in need. Set against the backdrop of a deserted village, the artwork conveys a sense of isolation and melancholy. The villagers' absence hints at their struggles or perhaps their departure due to unfortunate circumstances. Through this composition, Hankey pays homage to Oliver Goldsmith's poem "The Deserted Village" published in 1909 by Constable & Company Ltd. Hankey's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the bedroom scene where bedridden individuals reside. Their costumes reflect the era portrayed while adding authenticity to the overall composition. This piece serves as a powerful reminder of faith's ability to provide solace during challenging times. It encapsulates not only religious devotion but also empathy towards humanity as a whole – reminding us that even amidst desolation, there is always room for prayer and compassion within our hearts.
