Creator, York & Son, England. Woman sitting, holding baby.
Narrative for slide: “At these words the curtain went up to disclose Jane Conquest, a strong featured, sturdy young woman in a red shawl, seated with her sick child on her lap by a cheerless grate in a cottage interior with a Gothic stone hearth and a latticed window. The tearing, whistling crescendo and diminuendo of a great storm almost drowned the voice of the narrator and a distant, bloodcurdling cry.”
