EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "And kissed her thoughtless babes with many a tear, and clasped them close, in sorrow doubly dear" by William Lee Hankey evokes a profound sense of emotion and tenderness. The artist skillfully captures the essence of a mother's love as she embraces her innocent children amidst an atmosphere of sorrow. In this color lithograph, Hankey portrays a poignant scene from Oliver Goldsmith's poem "The Deserted Village". The image transports us to a rustic countryside setting where poverty-stricken villagers struggle to survive. Dressed in traditional costumes, the daughters of the village are depicted wearing bonnets while huddling around a fireplace. Amidst this backdrop of hardship and desolation, the focal point is undoubtedly the mother who leans down to kiss her oblivious infants. Her tears speak volumes about the weight of her sorrows and hardships endured. This moment becomes even more precious as she clings tightly to her beloved children, finding solace in their presence despite their shared suffering. Hankey's artistry shines through his attention to detail and ability to convey complex emotions through his brushstrokes. Through this artwork, he invites viewers into an intimate glimpse of maternal love amidst adversity. This exquisite print serves as both an aesthetic masterpiece and a poignant reminder that even in times of despair, love remains steadfast and resilient.
