EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from 19th-century Spain. In the image, a priest and a woman of the people stand side by side, both dressed in tattered rags. These individuals are not ordinary beggars; they are professional Spanish beggars who have strategically positioned themselves on the courts of churches to exploit Christian charity. The sketch, taken live by Gustave Dore in 1862, beautifully illustrates the harsh reality faced by these skilled manipulators. The engraving was created as part of an endeavor to document a voyage through Spain undertaken by Charles Davillier and Gustave Dore for "Le tour du monde" a renowned journal of travels published under Edouard Charton's direction. Davillier and Dore sought to shed light on various aspects of Spanish society during their journey, including this particular facet that highlights how some individuals took advantage of religious institutions' generosity. The contrast between the priest's pious presence and the destitute appearance of the woman emphasizes this exploitation. This evocative photograph is now part of Leonard de Selva's private collection, serving as an enduring reminder of societal dynamics prevalent at that time. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on themes such as poverty, religion, and human resilience while appreciating Gustave Dore's artistic talent in capturing such raw emotions through his sketches.
