EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, depicting a scene inspired by Pieter Jansz Quast's work from the 1630s. In this poignant image, we witness the struggles faced by marginalized individuals in society. The focus is on a crippled beggar accompanied by a child, highlighting the harsh realities of poverty and social inequality that plagued historical periods. The engraving beautifully portrays the hardships endured by paupers and peasants during this time. The beggarman's weathered face tells stories of despair and resilience, while his crutches symbolize both physical limitations and inner strength. Despite their destitution, they find solace in each other's company as they navigate through life's challenges. Ken Welsh skillfully captures this vintage illustration with an archival quality that transports us back to an era marked by widespread impoverishment. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect upon our own societal progress and recognize how far we have come in addressing these issues. This print serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and compels us to consider ways in which we can continue working towards creating a more inclusive society for all. It prompts us to acknowledge those who have been historically overlooked or forgotten, urging us not to turn away from their struggles but rather extend compassion and support whenever possible.
