EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beggar (engraving)" takes us back to the streets of 19th century Paris, capturing a poignant moment in history. The engraving, created by an unknown French artist from that era, depicts a Parisian beggar with striking detail and emotion. The image showcases the harsh reality faced by many during this time period. The amputee beggar is portrayed as a tramp, dressed in tattered clothing and carrying a begging bowl. His weary expression reflects the struggles he endures daily on the unforgiving streets of Paris. This engraving was originally featured as an illustration for George Augustus Sala's book "Paris Herself Again in 1878-9". It offers viewers a glimpse into the social issues prevalent at that time and serves as a reminder of the disparities within society. Through this artwork, we are transported to another era where poverty and hardship were all too common. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of human resilience amidst adversity. As we observe this print, we are reminded of the power art holds to capture moments in time and evoke empathy within us. This piece not only preserves history but also encourages reflection on our own societal progress since then.
