EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to 1872 in the quaint town of Quimperle, Brittany. The photograph captures the essence of two young beggar girls, their delicate features etched with a profound sense of sadness. Painted by Emile Auguste Hublin and expertly captured by Edward Gooch, this image offers a glimpse into the harsh reality faced by these vulnerable individuals during that era. Their worn-out clothing and tired expressions speak volumes about the poverty-stricken conditions they endured. The photo's monochromatic format adds an air of timelessness to the scene, emphasizing the enduring nature of social issues surrounding human roles and occupations. As we peer into their eyes, we can't help but feel a deep empathy for their plight. This poignant portrayal also provides insight into French culture at that time - a society grappling with economic disparity while preserving its rich heritage. It serves as a reminder that even amidst picturesque landscapes like Brittany, there existed hidden pockets of destitution. Preserved meticulously in archival quality print, this artwork invites us to reflect on our own role in addressing societal inequalities throughout history. It prompts us to confront uncomfortable truths about poverty and reminds us that compassion knows no boundaries or borders. As we gaze upon these young beggars frozen in time, let us be reminded not only of their struggles but also our collective responsibility to create a more equitable world for all.
