EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Thou source of all my bliss, and all my woe, thou found me poor at first, and keep'st me so" by William Lee Hankey transports viewers to a poignant scene from Oliver Goldsmith's renowned poem, The Deserted Village. This color lithograph captures the essence of rural life in early 20th century Britain. In this evocative artwork, Hankey skillfully portrays a humble village setting with its rustic charm and simplicity. The central figure, a man dressed in traditional attire, stands alone at a table filled with his meager belongings. His weathered face reflects the hardships he has endured as he gazes into the distance. The artist masterfully conveys the theme of poverty through his use of muted colors and delicate brushstrokes. Each detail tells a story: the worn-out costumes hanging on clotheslines symbolize struggle; the deserted village signifies loss; and the sorrowful atmosphere permeates every corner. Hankey's work not only pays homage to Goldsmith's poetic masterpiece but also serves as a reminder of our own human condition. It reminds us that life is an intricate tapestry woven with both joy and pain - moments that shape our existence. This mesmerizing print invites contemplation on themes such as resilience, community bonds, and the cyclical nature of fortune. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how circumstances can mold individuals while
