EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th-century print that captures a solemn moment of mourning and reflection. The image, created by an English School artist, depicts a scene from Ascension Day at Hawarden Church. In this poignant engraving, we witness a close-knit community gathered for Sunday service to pay their respects to the departed souls. The Dean of Lincoln leads the congregation in prayer as the haunting melody of the Dead March fills the air. The atmosphere is heavy with grief as politicians, including William Ewart Gladstone and his wife Mrs. Gladstone, join in mourning alongside their fellow parishioners. The print beautifully conveys both personal loss and collective sorrow through its intricate details. Each face tells a story of grief and remembrance; each figure stands united in shared anguish. Among them is Dorothy Drew, known as "the heir of Hawarden" whose presence adds another layer of significance to this somber occasion. "The Dead March wails in the Peoples Ears" serves as a powerful reminder of our mortality and our capacity for empathy during times of loss. It invites us to reflect on our own connections with those who have passed away while acknowledging that death touches everyone's lives indiscriminately. This remarkable lithograph from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history's emotional depths and contemplate themes that resonate across time - love, loss, and communal support during moments when words fail us all
