| Description |
In a gesture common to all mankind, a young
mother holds her baby in her arms. Such an
image, placed centuries ago in a Mexican tomb,
was meant to evoke the promise of life renewed
and continued. That promise has certainly come
true with time. The world has changed in
uncounted ways, but the essentials of human
nature have remained unchanged.
