EDITORS COMMENTS
The Blind Beggar Of Bethnal Green (colour litho) captures a poignant moment in 19th century England. This print, created by an anonymous English School artist, depicts the eponymous blind beggar who has become a legendary figure in British folklore. Set against the backdrop of a run-down London street, the beggar sits with his sightless eyes gazing into the distance. His disability is evident, as he leans on crutches and bears the weight of infirmities that life has bestowed upon him. Yet, despite his hardships, there is a sense of resilience and strength emanating from this humble figure. This illustration was originally featured in The Merry Ballads of the Olden Time illustrated in Pictures and Rhyme published by F Warne around 1880. It beautifully captures both the history and tradition associated with ballads and songs that were sung during this era. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph add depth to the story being told. They bring to life not only the physical surroundings but also evoke emotions associated with hope amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this piece of art from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how legends can be born out of ordinary lives. The Blind Beggar Of Bethnal Green serves as a timeless reminder that music transcends barriers and touches our souls even when our eyes fail us.
