EDITORS COMMENTS
In this litho print titled "Why have you not given our handmaid her share?", artist Henry Justice Ford transports us back in time to the historical era of Northumbria. The scene depicts a powerful moment from the life of St. Cuthbert, as he confronts a group of individuals who have failed to acknowledge their duty towards a handmaid. The composition is filled with tension and emotion, beautifully captured through Ford's meticulous engraving technique. The expressions on the characters' faces reveal a range of emotions - surprise, guilt, and perhaps even remorse. St. Cuthbert stands tall and resolute, his presence commanding attention as he demands justice for the marginalized figure before him. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for "The Book of Saints and Heroes" edited by Andrew Lang in 1921. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, there have been countless untold stories of those whose contributions were overlooked or dismissed. Ford's litho print invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as social inequality, compassion, and the importance of recognizing each individual's worth. As we gaze at this thought-provoking image, we are reminded that it is our responsibility to ensure fairness and inclusivity in society – giving everyone their rightful share.
