EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "It is rather hard bread" takes us back to 19th century France, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of poverty during that era. The image showcases a scene of charity, as individuals line up to receive loaves of white bread from an unknown benefactor. The composition evokes a sense of desperation and struggle, with worn-out faces reflecting the hardships faced by the French people at the time. The artist's attention to detail allows us to feel their hunger and longing for sustenance. This historical print serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of food supply in society. It highlights not only the scarcity but also the quality of available provisions during this period. The title itself suggests that even though it may be edible, bread was far from being soft or enjoyable. As we observe this piece, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into French culture and history. It prompts reflection on how far our society has come in terms of providing for those in need while reminding us not to take our current abundance for granted. "It is rather hard bread" stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and serves as a powerful symbol of compassion and charity that transcends time.
