EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical wood engraving from around 1897 depicts a scene of Blind man's bluff being played by society people. The image transports us back in time to a moment of leisure and social interaction among the upper class in Germany. In the center of the print, we see a blindfolded individual reaching out to touch another person, while onlookers observe with amusement. The game of Blind man's bluff was popular during this era as a form of entertainment, despite its potentially insensitive portrayal of blindness. The inclusion of a disabled or handicapped person in this illustration is notable for its representation of diversity within society at that time. It serves as a reminder that individuals with physical disabilities have always been present throughout history, even if their stories are not always prominently featured. The intricate details and craftsmanship of the wood engraving showcase the skill and artistry involved in creating such prints during this period. Each line and shading adds depth and character to the scene, drawing viewers into the world captured within the frame. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into both past social customs and artistic techniques, making it a valuable piece for those interested in exploring history through visual art.
