EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MACAO: BEGGAR, 1859" takes us back in time to the Portuguese colony on the coast of China. The image showcases a beggar, his weathered face telling stories of hardship and struggle. With a bowl and basket by his side, he relies on the kindness of others for sustenance. The wood engraving, created by an English artist in 1859, beautifully captures the essence of this unidentified man's life. His bare feet suggest poverty and vulnerability as he navigates through the streets of Macao. Clad in rags that barely shield him from the elements, he represents one among many who faced similar circumstances during this era. Macao itself was a bustling port city under Portuguese rule at that time. This photograph offers a glimpse into daily life within this colonial setting while shedding light on social disparities prevalent during that period. As we observe this poignant scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder to appreciate our own privileges and consider those less fortunate than ourselves. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical moment with great care and attention to detail, allowing us to reflect upon humanity's shared experiences across different cultures and eras.
