EDITORS COMMENTS
In this copperplate engraving from 1773, we are transported to a tavern where Bankrupt Toby and his wife Doxy are depicted begging for cheese and ale. The satirical illustration by Timothy Bobbin (John Collier) captures the desperation of the couple as they face poverty and hunger.
Thomas Sanders' skilled engraving brings out the details of Toby and Doxy's expressions, highlighting their misery and despair. The scene is not just a depiction of two individuals in need, but a commentary on society's treatment of the poor and downtrodden.
As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel empathy for Toby and Doxy, who represent the countless individuals struggling to make ends meet in a world that often turns a blind eye to their suffering. The caricature serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those living on the fringes of society.
Through this powerful piece of art, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and understanding towards our fellow human beings. It prompts us to reflect on our own privilege and consider how we can contribute to creating a more equitable world for all.
