EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the Residency burial ground in Maysore, India. The photograph is part of Mrs. Lewis Percival's album, showcasing her family's travels and experiences. The top photograph (4v-1) captures a solemn grave monument standing tall amidst the tranquil surroundings. The inscription on the monument pays tribute to Isabella Noble, the beloved wife of Major W. E. A. Elliot from the 29th regiment M. N. I. , who tragically succumbed to cholera at Camp Dyegaum on December 31st, 1842, at just 33 years old. The description notes that this memorial is made of granite with a black marble slab adorned with gold letters. In contrast to the intimate view of Isabella Noble's resting place, the bottom photograph (4v-2) provides a broader perspective of the cemetery itself. It offers a glimpse into this sacred space where countless lives have been laid to rest throughout history. As we observe these photographs through time's lens, we are reminded of our shared mortality and how each life leaves behind its own unique story etched in stone or captured within cherished memories. This image invites us to reflect on those who came before us and honor their legacies while contemplating our own fleeting existence in this vast world.
