EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful engraving titled "Crippled beggar with child" by Pieter Jansz Quast. Dating back to the 17th century, this artwork portrays the harsh realities of social inequality and poverty during that time. The image showcases an elderly beggar, crippled and weathered by life's hardships, accompanied by a young child. The worn-out clothing they wear reflects their impoverished state, while their hats provide some protection from the elements. Their presence evokes a sense of empathy and compassion for those who struggle in society. Through this engraving, Quast sheds light on the precariousness faced by peasants and common people in agricultural communities. It serves as a historical reminder of the challenges endured by individuals living in poverty-stricken conditions during the early 17th century. Ken Welsh's skillful photography beautifully captures every detail of this thought-provoking artwork. The black-and-white tones add depth to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. As we reflect upon this photo print, it serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to address social inequalities that persist today. It prompts us to consider how far we have come in terms of providing support for those less fortunate while reminding us that there is still work to be done in creating a more equitable society.
