EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Bis dat qui cito dat" captures the essence of generosity and compassion. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this image showcases a heartwarming scene that speaks volumes about the power of giving. In this artwork, we see a poor disabled man sitting on the ground with his crutch beside him. A kind-hearted woman wearing a cap approaches him, extending her hand to offer money. The beggar's grateful expression reflects both his need and appreciation for her act of charity. The Latin phrase "Bis dat qui cito dat" inscribed at the top translates to "He gives twice, who gives promptly" emphasizing the significance of prompt and generous giving. This educational card is part of a series featuring various sayings and mottos from late 19th or early 20th-century culture. It serves as a reminder that acts of kindness can make a significant impact on those less fortunate, regardless of their circumstances. The composition beautifully portrays themes such as empathy, disability awareness, and social responsibility. Through this artwork, viewers are encouraged to reflect upon their own capacity for generosity and consider how they can positively contribute to society. Overall, this chromolitho print encapsulates timeless values while shedding light on societal issues surrounding poverty and disability—a poignant reminder that small gestures can bring immense joy to those in need.
