EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Orphans - Les Orphelins" we are transported to a somber scene of a young girl carrying a tray of food into a dimly lit room. The image is an extract from the enchanting book "Afternoon Tea: Rhymes for Children" published by Frederick Warne & Co in London around 1880. The melancholic expression on the girl's face evokes a sense of sadness and longing, hinting at the difficult circumstances she may have faced as an orphan. As she carefully carries the tray, her delicate posture reflects both her vulnerability and resilience. The original illustrations by John George Sowerby and Henry Hetherington Emmerson beautifully capture the emotions conveyed through their intricate details and use of light and shadow. Their artistic collaboration brings depth to this poignant moment, allowing us to empathize with the young girl's experience. This photograph, part of Jean Duvallon's private collection, serves as a timeless reminder of the power that art holds in capturing human emotion. It invites us to reflect on themes such as loss, hope, and compassion that resonate across generations. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded once again of our shared humanity and our responsibility to care for those who may be less fortunate than ourselves.
