The Father’s Grave
A woman and two children gather beside a grave beneath the spreading branches of a tree. Their inward-facing poses and the enclosed landscape give the scene a private, mourning atmosphere. The annual lists the illustration as The Father’s Grave and places it among its writings on bereavement and family life.
