EDITORS COMMENTS
The pen and wash drawing of Eccleshall Church's Tomb of Bishop Bentham, created by John Robert Fernyhough in the 19th century, captures a moment frozen in time. The delicate lines and subtle shading bring to life this historical monument housed within the William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The tomb itself is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship dedicated to Bishop Bentham, who passed away on February 19th, 1578. Standing at 25.4x12.7 cm, the drawing allows us to appreciate the intricate details carved into the stone structure. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back through centuries of history. We can imagine visitors paying their respects to Bishop Bentham as they walk through Eccleshall Church's hallowed halls. The church itself stands as a testament to architectural beauty and religious devotion. Fernyhough's skillful use of pen and wash technique adds depth and texture to his depiction of the tomb. Every stroke seems purposeful and intentional, capturing both the grandeur and solemnity that surrounds this sacred space. This print serves as a window into our past—a reminder that even after all these years, art continues to connect us with those who came before us. It invites contemplation about mortality while celebrating human creativity and reverence for those who have left their mark on history.
