This image is an amazing step back in time! A beautiful work and composition that holds so much history and many hard memories I am sure. V

Well done in b/w. I'm not familiar with the story, but can imagine the further one goes back in time, the more perilous being an orphan was likely to be.

Love the tones and strong focal point. I didn't know that that occurred.
