EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, dated 1909, captures a poignant moment of charity and compassion as two young girls, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the early 1900s, pause to offer coins to a poor, crippled boy sitting on the side of the street. The scene unfolds on the pavement, with the girls' hearts full of love and kindness as they reach out to make a difference in the life of the young boy, who relies on crutches to move around. The girls' actions, symbolic of the moral values of the time, are depicted against a decorative border of pale blue ribbons and hearts, further emphasizing the caring and caring nature of their gesture. The boy, with a look of gratitude and hope, sits at the bollard, his crutches leaning against the wall, as he waits for the change that will bring him some relief. This image, though simple, is a powerful reminder of the impact of small acts of kindness and the importance of compassion in our lives.
