EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's iconic novel, "Les Miserables". The image depicts Gavroche, the street urchin with a heart of gold, selflessly giving bread to hungry children. Illustrated by Gustave Brion for the 1866 edition published by Hetzel and Lacroix, this engraving beautifully portrays the themes of poverty and compassion that permeate throughout the literary masterpiece. Gavroche stands tall amidst a backdrop of despair, his youthful face filled with determination as he distributes sustenance to those less fortunate. The intricate details in this artwork bring forth an emotional connection between viewer and subject - one can almost feel the hunger that these destitute children experience daily. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this scene, emphasizing both Gavroche's resilience and the bleakness surrounding him. It serves as a reminder that even in times of hardship, acts of kindness can provide solace and hope. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Stefano Bianchetti, we are transported into Gavroche's world - a world where childhood innocence battles against societal injustices. This photograph serves as a timeless testament to the enduring power of literature in shedding light on social issues while inspiring empathy within our hearts.
