EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grace, from "Illustrated London News", June 14,1851 captures a poignant moment in the lives of a destitute family in 19th century Britain. In this black and white wood engraving by an unknown artist, we see a father seated at a humble table with his wife and two young children. The room they inhabit is sparsely furnished, reflecting their poverty-stricken circumstances. As the family prepares to share their meager meal of turnips, the father leads them in prayer, gesturing with hands clasped together in faith. This powerful image speaks volumes about the importance of religion and spirituality during times of hardship. The mother gazes lovingly at her husband as he prays for divine intervention amidst their struggles. The innocence of infancy is represented by the two babies present, reminding us that even in dire circumstances, life continues to thrive. This engraving serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength found within families facing adversity. It also highlights the enduring power of prayer and belief in providing solace during challenging times. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people who lived through difficult times but found comfort through their faith.
