Amidst the chaos of 1863, it's no use crying out as Wits last stake or cobling voters and abject canvassers etch their despair into existence. Peter, in a color litho, sat staring at Heidi with abject fear, mirroring the misery captured in black and white photos of Mexico City in 1928. Misery, too, was the state of Majnun, reduced to an abject existence in a 1700 etching with opaque watercolor and gold on paper. King Prempeh's humiliation was immortalized in history, while European wolves displayed submissive gestures and behaviors, hinting at their own abject nature. Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, first published in 1886, explored the depths of human abjection. Joseph Paxton, the English gardener and architect, superintended the creation of grand estates, yet homelessness remained an abject reality.
