EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Bamfylde Moore Carew: The Enigmatic King of the Gypsies and Beggar" Bamfylde Moore Carew (1693-1770), an intriguing figure from English history, is depicted in this image. Born into a noble family, Carew's life took an unexpected turn as he abandoned his privileged upbringing to live as both a king among the Gypsies and a humble beggar. The photograph captures Carew's distinctive long, curly hair, which was a hallmark of his Gypsy identity. He is shown with a loyal dog by his side, a common companion among the nomadic community. Carew's connection to the Gypsies began when he fell in love with a Romani woman named Priscilla, and he chose to live with her people rather than return to his aristocratic roots. Despite his noble birth, Carew embraced the Gypsy lifestyle, becoming a respected leader and earning the title of "King of the Gypsies." However, he also adopted the guise of a beggar, using the proceeds from his humble requests for alms to support his Gypsy community. This dual role allowed him to maintain a connection to both worlds, living freely among his Gypsy family while also securing resources for their survival. Carew's story is a fascinating blend of privilege and poverty, nobility and nomadism. His life challenges the traditional notions of social class and identity, offering a glimpse into the complexities of English society during the 18th century. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the intriguing and often overlooked stories that lie hidden within our history.
