EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving titled "How to Get Money, 1859" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of cunning and deception. Two well-dressed con men sit at a table inside a bustling coffee house, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of daylight streaming through the window behind them. With heads close together, they engage in an intense discussion, hatching a nefarious plan to exploit unsuspecting members of the public. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these criminals, portraying them as confident and shrewd individuals. Their expressions reveal both intelligence and mischief as they pore over a newspaper, perhaps searching for potential targets or seeking inspiration for their next scheme. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line and shadow adds depth to this black-and-white monochrome print. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into the criminal underworld of the 19th century but also serves as a reminder that deceit has long been present throughout history. It prompts us to reflect on how human nature can sometimes lead individuals down dark paths in pursuit of wealth or power. As we admire this heritage image partnership between artistry and storytelling, let us remember that it is our duty to uphold justice and protect ourselves from those who seek ill-gotten gains.
