A lullaby

 

Ideogram. Bridget, 1850s.

Another imagined scene for Bridget, singing to one of her children in La Salle County, Illinois in the 1850s. I have to think some of Agnes' amazing talent was inherited from Bridget, absorbed as she sang to her daughter in late 1858/early 1859. This image is about the best we can do at this stage to picture Bridget with Agnes (or her other children) before Bridget's passing about August 1859.

This scene is in contrast to later images for Agnes as she is performing around the US and Canada. More to follow.
