These images serve as powerful reminders of both their struggles and resilience throughout history. One engraving takes us to La Maison de charite de Watts in Rochester, where charitable efforts were made to provide assistance to those in need. Another depicts an Asile de nuit pour les pauvres voyageurs, offering shelter for weary travelers who found themselves destitute. Moving on, we encounter a scene at Vue du bain des pauvres in Plombieres, departement des Vosges. This image portrays a moment where even amidst hardship, individuals sought solace and relief through communal bathing facilities. The Place du parvis Notre-Dame au quinzieme siecle transports us back to fifteenth-century Paris. Here, poverty was ever-present as depicted by an engraving showcasing impoverished individuals seeking refuge near Notre-Dame Cathedral. Le roi qui juge les pauvres selon la verite reminds us that true justice lies not only in wealth but also in compassion towards those less fortunate. The image emphasizes that rulers who genuinely care for their impoverished subjects will find stability on their thrones. As time progresses, we witness changes within society through another engraving titled Place du Parvis en 1650. It reveals how poverty persisted despite evolving times and serves as a facsimile from Van Merlen's original work. Distributing Left-overs to the Poor after the Lord Mayor's Banquet at Guildhall highlights acts of charity following lavish feasts held by influential figures.
