EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Poverty in Paris: the refuge of the Palais des arts-liberaux (liberal arts) in the field of March - at the door of an asylum - a distribution of soups" offers a poignant glimpse into the hardships faced by those living in poverty-stricken areas of 19th century Paris. The image, originally published in "Le petit Parisien" newspaper in 1891, depicts a young girl standing amidst a crowd gathered outside an asylum. The scene captures both despair and hope as individuals line up to receive bowls of soup, their faces reflecting a mixture of hunger and gratitude. The generosity shown by those distributing food highlights the compassion that can be found even amidst such dire circumstances. The artist's attention to detail is evident through every stroke, conveying not only the physical toll poverty takes on its victims but also their resilience and humanity. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder that poverty knows no boundaries and affects people from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this historical print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back to an era where charity was often relied upon for survival. It prompts us to reflect on our own society today and consider how far we have come in addressing issues surrounding poverty while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done.
