Weekend in Black and White: Adrift in the snow


Adrift is a statue created by Irish-Mancunian sculptor John Cassidy over 100 years ago in 1907. It's of a family in peril and its base inscription reads "Humanity adrift on the sea of life, depicting sorrows and dangers, hopes and fears and embodying the dependence of human beings upon one another, the response of human sympathy to human needs, and the inevitable dependence upon divine aid". Taking part in The Weekend in Black and White.
