Title: [An angel weeping]
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: Luggnagg; England
Description: Here we see an angel weeping. The angel cries over the immortals of Luggnagg, as they cannot die and continue to live even though many of them wish they could die and be put out of their misery. This is because their quality of life continues to decline as they age, and see their friends and family die.
