EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Whittington and the poor" transports us back to the medieval streets of England during the 14th century. The image depicts Sir Richard Whittington, the renowned Lord Mayor of London, distributing charity to those in need. As winter sets in, poverty-stricken individuals gather around him, seeking aid and warmth. The scene is filled with a sense of compassion and hope as Whittington selflessly extends his hand to help those less fortunate. This powerful illustration was originally featured in "The Silver Lattice" edited by Richard Wilson and published by Thomas Nelson around 1910. The artist behind this remarkable color lithograph is Henrietta Rae (1859-1928), whose attention to detail brings every element of this historical moment to life. From the intricate architecture lining the street to the expressions on each character's face, Rae captures both the harsh reality of poverty and Whittington's dedication towards alleviating it. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's enduring struggle against poverty throughout history. It also highlights how acts of charity can make a significant impact on society, even during challenging times like those faced in medieval England. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported into an era long gone but not forgotten – an era that reminds us all about our shared responsibility towards helping one another in times of need.
