EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th-century print that captures the essence of compassion and generosity. This French School masterpiece, part of a private collection, showcases the power of education and learning through its inclusion in the "Alphabet in figures" publication by J. Langlume and Peltier. Measuring at 17.7 x 11 cm, this enchanting engraving transports us to a bygone era where poverty was prevalent but so too was virtue. The image depicts a young beggar or tramp, symbolizing the plight of those less fortunate. Yet amidst their destitution, there is hope - represented by an outstretched hand offering charity. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy and kindness in society. It highlights how education can play a vital role in shaping compassionate individuals who are willing to extend help to those facing adversity. Set against the backdrop of France during this period, it reflects not only on French history but also on broader European values. It reminds us that acts of charity transcend borders and unite people across nations within the European Union. This evocative artwork beautifully encapsulates both religious undertones and secular notions surrounding philanthropy. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own capacity for giving while acknowledging the precariousness faced by many living in poverty-stricken conditions. "B: Charity" from Bridgeman Images is more than just an exquisite piece; it serves as an educational tool encouraging contemplation about our collective responsibility towards creating a more compassionate
