EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Cretin of Aosta, c. 1870" by Edward Whymper takes us back in time to witness the life of a marginalized individual. The wood engraving showcases a man standing on a street corner, his physical and mental disabilities evident. Clad in tattered rags, he leans on a stick for support while holding out a cup, symbolizing his reliance on begging as means of survival. The image evokes both sympathy and curiosity as we contemplate the challenges faced by this nameless figure. His thyroid deficiency is likely responsible for his stunted growth and cognitive impairments, rendering him unable to fully participate in society. Despite these limitations, he perseveres with dignity amidst adversity. Whymper's illustration serves as proof for his book "Scrambles Amongst the Alps" published in 1871. This particular wood-engraving captures an authentic moment from Whymper's travels through Europe during the 1860s. As we gaze upon this poignant portrayal of disability and poverty, let us reflect on our own attitudes towards those who are physically or mentally handicapped. May it remind us to extend compassion and support to all individuals facing similar challenges today.
