EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the lives of Bulgarian itinerant beggars. The image showcases a blind person skillfully playing the ghuzla, a Serbian lute with a rope, while reciting poesy and epic recits. Engraved after the drawing of A. De Neuville, this illustration originally appeared in Guillaume Lejean's "Le tour du monde" in 1873. The photograph offers a glimpse into the journey to Bulgaria undertaken by Lejean in 1867. It portrays the harsh reality faced by these impoverished individuals as they navigate their way through life on the streets, relying on their musical talents to earn meager sustenance. The musician's disability adds another layer of complexity to this scene, highlighting both his resilience and determination to overcome adversity through art. His mastery of the ghuzla demonstrates not only his musical prowess but also serves as an accompaniment to his heartfelt poetry recitations. Published during an era when poverty was prevalent across Europe, this engraving evokes empathy for those less fortunate and sheds light on societal issues that persist today. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical snapshot that stands as a testament to human strength amidst hardship. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph invites viewers into a world where music becomes an instrument of survival for these Bulgarian itinerant beggars; reminding us all of our shared humanity regardless of circumstance or station in life.
