EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Rome, on the Steps of St Peter's, 'Per Carita, Signori'" transports viewers to a moment frozen in time. The engraving by Hubert von Herkomer depicts a scene from Rome in 1872, specifically on the steps of St Peter's Basilica. This powerful image captures the harsh reality of poverty and begging that plagued the streets of Italy during this era. In this evocative composition, we witness a group of Italians huddled together on the steps, their faces etched with weariness and desperation. The title "Per Carita, Signori" translates to "For Charity, Gentlemen" emphasizing their plea for compassion and assistance. The grandeur of St Peter's Basilica looms behind them as a stark contrast to their destitution. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst opulence and wealth within Vatican City walls, there existed immense poverty just outside its gates. This photograph not only showcases the struggles faced by these individuals but also sheds light on social issues prevalent throughout Europe at that time. It prompts us to reflect upon our own society today and consider how far we have come in addressing such inequalities. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through an engraving technique, it is impossible not to be moved by its raw emotion and thought-provoking narrative.
