EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Blind beggars of Tehran, Persia, 1902" offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of marginalized individuals in early 20th century Iran. The image showcases a group of blind beggars, including men and young boys, situated along a bustling street in Tehran. Their tattered clothing and somber expressions reflect the harsh realities they faced as impoverished members of society. The photograph not only captures their physical disabilities but also highlights the concept of poverty that plagued many Iranians during this era. It serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by those living with disabilities within an ethnically diverse country like Persia. Through this monochrome snapshot, we are transported to a different time and place - one where social inequality was starkly visible on every corner. The photographer's lens invites us to contemplate the struggles these individuals endured while navigating their daily lives amidst bustling crowds and busy streets. As we observe this evocative portrait from over a century ago, it is important to recognize that disability does not define these individuals' worth or potential contributions to society. Instead, let us use this image as an opportunity for reflection on how far we have come in terms of inclusivity and support for people with disabilities worldwide.
