EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Poor Blind at the East End" takes us back to a poignant scene in London's history. The engraving, created by Charles Paul Renouard in 1890, captures a moment of compassion and support within the Stepney Workhouse. In this image, we witness blind visitors arriving at St. Philips Institute for an afternoon tea organized by the Indigent Blind Visiting Society. Led by their caring guides, these sightless individuals navigate through life with remarkable resilience despite their disabilities. The atmosphere is filled with both hope and despair as we observe the indomitable spirit of those facing poverty and blindness head-on. Their infirmities are evident in their sightless eyes and physical challenges, yet they remain determined to find solace within this charitable institution. Renouard's masterful depiction not only highlights the struggles faced by disabled individuals but also serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and assistance from society at large. It prompts us to reflect on our own privileges while urging us to extend a helping hand towards those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this powerful engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as an inspiration for greater inclusivity and understanding in our communities today.
