EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of a notorious blind beggar, dressed in the costume of a survivor of the Battle of Waterloo. With a portrait of a wounded sailor prominently displayed on his chest, this beggar embodies the hardships and struggles faced by those who have served their country in times of war.
Kneeling in front of the Privy Gardens, this decrepit match seller exudes an aura of resilience and perseverance despite his difficult circumstances. The intricate details captured in this copperplate etching by John Thomas Smith from his Vagabondiana series offer a glimpse into the life of mendicant wanderers through the streets of London in 1817.
The contrast between the beggar's elaborate costume and his humble posture as he sells matches highlights the stark realities faced by those living on society's margins. Through this poignant image, we are reminded of the fragility and strength that coexist within individuals facing poverty and homelessness.
As we gaze upon this historical portrayal, we are invited to reflect on themes such as notoriety, survival, and human resilience. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that behind every face there is a story waiting to be heard, offering us an opportunity to empathize with those whose voices may often go unheard.
