An artist found.

I watched this beautiful film with my wife today, and with each scene, we became more and more enchanted with Edith's story. Moving, and sad -- but ultimately uplifting, this is also the story of so many women of that era, and we came away with questions about the well meaning, and not so well meaning tyranny of men, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their impact on the lives of ordinary women moved us deeply and we couldn't help but think of our own great aunts.
Jane and Tessa gave Edith back her legacy, and her art. It is clearly a labor of love. How lucky we are that they were able to bring this wonderful artist home. Once lost in time, we now have Edith's story, and her beautiful artworks, for all time.
