EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Charite des etudiants, l oeuvre de la Butte aux Cailles" takes us back to the streets of 19th century France. The image, captured by an unknown artist and now part of a private collection, was originally featured in the renowned publication "Le petit journal" on February 5,1894. In this poignant scene, we see a young girl standing amidst a group of people who have gathered around for a popular soup distribution. The atmosphere is one of both misery and hope as individuals from all walks of life come together in solidarity. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the harsh realities faced by many during that time period. The focus on food and hunger highlights the dire poverty experienced by families struggling to make ends meet. Yet, it also showcases the compassion and generosity present within society through acts of charity like this one. The girl's expression reflects both her own vulnerability as well as her gratitude for receiving this nourishing meal. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography captures not only the physical aspects but also the emotional depth behind each subject portrayed. Through his lens, he brings attention to issues such as childhood equity and social disparity that continue to resonate even today. This remarkable piece serves as a timeless testament to humanity's capacity for empathy and reminds us that no matter how challenging our circumstances may be, there is always room for kindness and support towards those less fortunate than ourselves.
