EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a man walking through the streets of Amsterdam in the late 18th century. The image captures his determined stride as he relies on two crutches for support, emphasizing his strength and resilience. What makes this scene even more intriguing is the shoe-polish box hanging around his neck, suggesting that he may be a shoeshiner by trade. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable, with various accessories related to shoes depicted alongside the main figure. From insoles to shoehorns and shoe polish, these items add depth and authenticity to the composition. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings every element to life on paper. Intriguingly, there is also a four-line verse written in Dutch within the margin of the print. Although its exact meaning remains unknown without translation, it adds an additional layer of mystery and cultural context to this snapshot of Amsterdam street life. Part of a larger series focusing on street figures in Amsterdam during this period, this particular print offers viewers a glimpse into everyday life at that time. It serves as a reminder of how historical artifacts like these can provide valuable insights into society's past while simultaneously showcasing artistic talent and craftsmanship.
