EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white engraving captures a poignant moment in 19th century London, showcasing the life of a blind cabbage-net-maker outside St Martin's Church. The artist, William Douglas Almond, skillfully portrays the disabled man as he works on his craft in the bustling street scene of England's capital.
Despite his disability, the blind cabbage-net-maker is depicted with dignity and resilience, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities during this era. The intricate details in the engraving bring to life the historical significance of this moment, offering viewers a glimpse into everyday life in Victorian London.
The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, drawing attention to both the architectural beauty of St Martin's Church and the determination of its surroundings. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and perseverance exhibited by individuals facing adversity in society.
As we reflect on this image from over a century ago, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of inclusivity and accessibility for people with disabilities. It serves as a testament to our shared history and inspires us to continue striving for equality and understanding for all members of our community.
