In the etching 'The Men in Sacks' from Proverbs, published in 1864, we see a scene of incapacitation, a stark reminder of life's uncertainties, as depicted in plate 8. A similar theme is explored in The Invalid, an oil painting from 1890, where an elderly man is confined to his bed. Three pen and ink sketches of peasant scenes also portray the struggles of the disabled and infirm in historical context. Pope Benedict XV once said, "Not to share one's goods with the poor is to rob them and to sin against the Lord." This sentiment is echoed in the bond between man's best friend and his disabled owner, as depicted in images of a Golden Retriever assisting its owner in a kitchen and on the pavement in England. In contrast, the Germans' Button Magnets, a game of dexterity, serve as a reminder of the abilities we often take for granted. Lastly, the humorous yet poignant scene of police helping a drunk man home underscores the spectrum of human incapacitation, from physical to mental, and the interconnectedness of our shared experiences.
