1855 Attracts Beggar Begging Change Humans Loose Plenty
EDITORS COMMENTS
DOG BEGGAR" - A Woebegone Canine Seeker of Human Compassion, 1855 This evocative photograph captures the plight of a woebegone dog, extending a paw in supplication to passing humans. The image, titled "DOG BEGGAR," was captured in 1855 and is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between man and man's best friend, as well as the historical practice of charitable giving. The dog's woebegone expression and pitiful posture are designed to elicit sympathy and compassion from those who pass by. His eyes convey a deep sense of sadness and longing, while his outstretched paw is a clear indication of his need for assistance. The loose change that can be seen scattered at his feet suggests that he has been successful in his begging endeavors, providing him with the means to survive. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it offers a glimpse into the lives of animals in the mid-19th century. The practice of keeping pets as companions was not yet widespread, and many animals, including dogs, relied on the kindness of humans for sustenance. The image also underscores the importance of charitable giving and the role it played in the lives of those in need, both human and animal. Despite the passage of time, the image of the woebegone dog remains a powerful symbol of the human capacity for compassion and empathy. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a significant difference in the lives of those who are struggling. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a poignant and historical depiction of the bond between man and dog, and the enduring power of compassion and generosity.
