EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cour des miracles, after Jacques Callot (1592-1635) engraved by Adrien Lavieille (1818-62)" takes us back to the 17th century in France. The image showcases a scene from the infamous Cour des miracles, a place known for its destitute inhabitants and rampant poverty. The color engraving, skillfully done by Albert Charles August Racinet, brings to life the harsh reality of this forgotten corner of society. In the foreground stands a female figure dressed in tattered rags, her crippled legs rendering her unable to walk. Beside her is an armless wanderer with a headdress made of scraps. Every detail tells a story of struggle and survival amidst dire circumstances. The woodcut technique adds depth and texture to the composition, emphasizing the roughness of their lives. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document. It sheds light on the plight of those marginalized by society during that era – individuals who were often ignored or dismissed as they struggled to make ends meet. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this artwork reminds us not only of our shared humanity but also prompts reflection on how far we have come in addressing social inequality. It invites viewers to contemplate issues surrounding poverty and disability while appreciating the talent behind Adrien Lavieille's engraving skills captured through Bridgeman Images' lens.
