Epitaph from the church in Chinsura, second half 18th century. Chinsura in Bengal (Northeast India) was one of the key trading posts of the VOC. Under its director, George Louis Vernet, a church was built at Chinsura in 1767. As was traditional in European churches, memorials were placed on the walls to commemorate high-ranking officials who had died in Asia in the service of the Company. Far right: Vernet's epitaph - the director died in Batavia in 1775. The second from the left is the epitaph of Theodora Hendrica Piekenbroek. She was the daughter of a Dutch preacher from Batavia. After marrying Boudewijn Versewel Faure - whose memorial is also shown here - she moved to Chinsura, where they both died within a short space of time. Theodora was only 23: the death rate among Europeans in Bengal was high.

After visiting the Rhineland during a summer–fall tour in 1858, Whistler created this image of an elderly woman sorting rags (loques). He here develops a formula to which he would often return—using an open entrance to frame a receding interior that contains figures and objects. Like "La Mère Gérard" and "La Rétameuse," the artist focuses on an old working woman, dignified but without sentiment. Created late in 1858 this is one of the most complex prints in "Douze eaux-fortes d’après nature" (Twelve Etchings from Nature), the artist's first published set.

Saint Otilia from Plenarium, Plate 27 from Woodcuts from Books of the 15th Century
Object type: print

Location: germany
Artist: Anonymous
Artist dates: 1450 – 1499

When is a book illustration not a book illustration? These leaves (1938.86.27 and 1938.88.52) were removed from their original texts in the early twentieth century and grouped into portfolios celebrating fifteenth and sixteenth-century book illustrations. Yet the Saint Otilia bears an early owner’s mark from her previous life, and this viewer or another early user has augmented the saint’s halo; the border of the altar showing Christ’s Resurrection; and the muscles on the soul escaping the mouth of hell in Otilia’s vision. In contrast, Jost Amman’s book boasted many woodcuts with spaces intentionally left blank for viewers to complete with their personal coats of arms, an option not realized on this particular sheet.
