EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Please choose" takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a poignant scene from Le Monde Illustre. The image, created by Marie, Adrien Emmanuel in 1890, showcases a young girl standing on a cold winter street corner with her rag doll clutched tightly in her hands. The girl's tattered clothing and impoverished appearance tell a story of hardship and struggle. Yet amidst this bleakness, she is presented with an array of gifts and hats displayed before her. It seems as if someone has taken notice of her plight and wishes to bring some joy into her life. A cab driver looks on attentively as the girl contemplates which gift to choose. Perhaps he is the one responsible for these unexpected presents or maybe he simply empathizes with her situation. In this moment, we witness an act of charity that transcends social boundaries. The elegant mother figure accompanying the child adds another layer of complexity to this scene. Is she there out of compassion or does she represent societal inequality? Regardless, it is clear that giving brings warmth even in the coldest winters. This photograph serves as a reminder that acts of kindness can make all the difference in someone's life – especially during Christmas time when generosity should be at its peak.
