EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink wash drawing, titled "Madeley Church - Gravestone of John Egerton" transports us to a bygone era. Created in the 19th century by artist John Robert Fernyhough, this artwork measures 20.3x10.2 cm and is housed at The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The image showcases the south side of Madeley Church, where an exquisite marble gravestone stands as a testament to the lives of John Egerton and his wife Elyn. Crafted from brass, the figures adorning the stone exude a sense of timeless elegance. The inscription on the gravestone reads: "Pray for the soules of John Egerton esquire and Elyn his wyff". It further reveals that John departed from this world on April 1st in either 1518 or 1528 (the exact year remains uncertain). The heartfelt plea concludes with a humble request for mercy upon their souls. Fernyhough's meticulous attention to detail brings forth every intricate element of this historical artifact. From the delicate lines defining each figure to the subtle shading that adds depth and dimensionality, his skillful rendering breathes life into this centuries-old scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of its artistic merit but also its significance as a window into history. It serves as both an homage to those who came before us and an invitation to reflect upon our own mortality – reminding us that time marches ever
