EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cornelia Africana, a remarkable woman who lived during ancient Rome. As the mother of Tiberius and Gaius Sempronius Gracchus, she played a pivotal role in shaping their lives and legacies. The image, sourced from Cassells Illustrated Universal History published in 1883, showcases her timeless beauty and strength. In this engraving turned historical artifact, we see Cornelia standing proudly with her two young sons by her side. The boys exude an air of innocence as they look up to their influential mother. It is evident that she instilled in them values of justice and equality which would later define their roles as tribunes of the plebs. The vintage quality of this picture adds depth to its significance. It serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten - a period where women like Cornelia defied societal norms to raise strong-willed children who fought for social reform. Ken Welsh's expertise shines through in his careful preservation of this archival gem. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect on the power of maternal love and its ability to shape history itself. As we gaze upon this enchanting portrayal, let us remember Cornelia Africana not only as a mother but also as a symbol of resilience and determination amidst turbulent times in ancient Rome.
