EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Hour-Glass" artist Henry Le Jeune takes us back in time to a bygone era. The image, originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 16,1850, depicts a scene filled with nostalgia and symbolism. At the center of the composition stands an intricately designed hourglass, its sand slowly trickling down from one bulb to another. This timeless symbol of passing time serves as a reminder of life's fleeting nature and the importance of cherishing every moment. Surrounding the hourglass are three young children, their innocent faces filled with curiosity and wonder. They represent the essence of childhood - carefree, full of joy, and blissfully unaware of life's transience. Their presence adds a touch of innocence and purity to this thought-provoking artwork. Le Jeune's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous rendering of each child's features and clothing. From their rosy cheeks to their delicate attire, he captures their youthful spirit flawlessly. "The Hour-Glass" is not just an exquisite piece of fine art; it also holds deeper meaning for those who take the time to contemplate it. It reminds us that our days are numbered but encourages us to embrace each passing second with gratitude and appreciation. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time while contemplating our own journey through life's sands.
