EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures a heartbreaking moment in history, as a woman discovers two abandoned babies at the entrance of a church in 1862. The expression on her face is one of shock and sadness, highlighting the harsh realities faced by society during this time. The image serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by infants who were left to fend for themselves on the streets of France. The delicate features of the newborn babes contrast starkly with the cold stone walls of the church, emphasizing their vulnerability and innocence. The woman's presence adds a sense of hope to the scene, as she reaches out to comfort and protect these helpless children. Her actions symbolize compassion and empathy in the face of adversity, showcasing humanity's capacity for kindness even in difficult circumstances. As we reflect on this poignant moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance of caring for those who are most vulnerable in our society. This engraving serves as a call to action, urging us to be vigilant and proactive in protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Through his artistry, Jaime Abecasis has captured not only a historical event but also an enduring message about love, compassion, and social responsibility.
