EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Poverty" takes us back to the 19th century, a time of great social inequality. The image depicts a young child in dire circumstances, highlighting the harsh realities faced by many during this period. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraver's hand. The child's worn-out clothes and disheveled appearance speak volumes about their impoverished state. Their eyes reflect a sense of longing and desperation, evoking empathy from anyone who gazes upon this print. This powerful illustration was originally created for The Childs Companion and Juvenile Instructor in 1865, published by the Religious Tract Society. It serves as a reminder that education can be an essential tool for breaking free from poverty's grip. As we delve into this piece further, we are reminded of the precariousness that often accompanies poverty. This image not only captures one individual's struggle but also represents countless others facing similar hardships during this era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this poignant artwork from history, allowing us to reflect on societal issues that persist today. Through its educational value and emotional impact, "Poverty" continues to serve as a timeless reminder of our collective responsibility towards those less fortunate.
