EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fruit-Sellers Counting Their Money, 1618" by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo transports us back to the bustling streets of 17th century Munich. The image showcases a group of child street-vendors diligently counting their earnings while surrounded by baskets overflowing with luscious grapes. These young girls, depicted in vibrant colors, embody both innocence and resilience as they navigate the world of commerce at such a tender age. The painting, housed in the Alte Pinakothek museum, serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by children during this era. Child labor was prevalent and often necessary for families struggling to make ends meet. Murillo's masterful brushstrokes capture not only the physicality of these young vendors but also their determination and entrepreneurial spirit. Published in "Bibbys Annual 1914" edited by Joseph Bibby, this artwork continues to resonate with audiences even into the 20th century. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to transcend time and spark conversations about social issues such as child labor and economic disparity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in ensuring every child's right to education and protection from exploitation.
