EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing etching from the 19th century captures a scene that challenges our perception of innocence and morality. Titled "Children being taught to pickpocket" it offers a glimpse into a darker side of society during this era. The image, part of a private collection now held by Peter Newark Pictures, portrays an interior setting where young boys are being instructed in the art of theft. The composition is filled with tension as we witness men teaching these children the skills necessary for criminal activities. The focus on their clothes and social history adds depth to the narrative, highlighting how poverty and desperation often led individuals down such paths. It serves as a stark reminder that crime knows no age boundaries. While disturbing, this print also provides valuable insight into the realities faced by marginalized communities at that time. It prompts us to reflect on how societal factors can shape individuals' choices and actions. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artifact through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to examine an aspect of human nature that may be uncomfortable yet undeniably significant in understanding our past.
