EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Obituary Record (engraving) captures a poignant moment in history, depicting the somber passing of notable individuals from various walks of life during the 19th century. This thought-provoking print, created by an English School artist and part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic in 1871. The image showcases a diverse range of figures whose lives came to an end between August and September 1871. Among them are respected members of society such as clergy, judges, writers, politicians, and authors. Each person's name is inscribed beneath their portrait alongside their date of death – a stark reminder that mortality knows no boundaries. Notable personalities featured include Captain Basevi, Mr Justice Norman, Canon Blenkiron, Richard Bentley (the publisher), Aali Pacha (Grand Vizier), Dr Jelf, Thomas Ballantyne (a writer), and many others who made significant contributions to literature and religious orders. This engraving serves as both a historical record and a reflection on the fragility of human existence. It reminds us that regardless of our accomplishments or social standing, we all share the same fate. As viewers contemplate this visual testament to mortality's indiscriminate reach across professions and ages – with individuals ranging from 39 to 75 years old – they are invited to ponder the impermanence that unites us all.
