EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled ""I will go and see him before I die" (engraving)" captures a poignant moment from the 19th century. The image, created by an English School artist, depicts a scene inspired by the Bible Stories Illustrated book "Light for Little Footsteps" published around 1895. In this engraving, we witness a touching interaction between a blind and disabled individual and their family. The central figure, identified as Jacob's father in the biblical context, expresses his deep desire to meet someone before his passing. Despite his physical limitations, he remains determined to fulfill this heartfelt wish. The composition evokes emotions of compassion and resilience through its black-and-white depiction. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities during that era. The worn-out surroundings further emphasize the hardships endured by those living in poverty or neglect. This artwork not only highlights themes of family bonds but also explores faith and hope within adversity. Its historical significance lies in shedding light on societal attitudes towards disability at that time while showcasing how love can transcend physical barriers. As we observe this engraving today, it prompts us to reflect on our own perceptions of disability and reminds us of the importance of empathy and inclusivity in our society.
