EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "It is a pity to waste bread in time of dearth" by the English School, dating back to the 19th century, evokes a sense of historical significance and societal struggle. The engraving, part of Chatterbox magazine from 1888, serves as a poignant reminder of the value placed on food during times of scarcity. In this thought-provoking image, we witness King Louis XVI standing trial for his actions during a period marked by dearth and famine. Amidst this backdrop, the message conveyed becomes even more powerful - wasting bread is an act that should be avoided at all costs. The visual narrative captures our attention with its depiction of white loaves being discarded as rubbish. It prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with food and how easily we take it for granted in times when abundance surrounds us. Through its digitally cleaned presentation, this artwork transports us back in time while simultaneously urging us to consider contemporary issues surrounding food waste. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it serve as a reminder that every morsel counts and wasting such precious sustenance should never be taken lightly. This photograph encapsulates history's lessons within its frame - reminding us that even amidst trials and hardships faced by societies throughout time, preserving our resources remains paramount.
