EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The World Went Very Well Then" by Walter Besant, transports us back to a different era. The image depicts a scene from the past, filled with intrigue and curiosity. In the foreground of the print stands an admiral, his presence commanding attention. Despite his disability, he exudes confidence as he leans on his prosthetic limbs. With determination etched on his face, he reaches for the door handle without forgetting to adjust his hat. Surrounding him are gentlemen in cloaks, their expressions reflecting both admiration and surprise at witnessing such resilience. It is evident that this disabled admiral has defied societal expectations and continues to thrive in a world where disabilities were often seen as limitations. The artist Amedee Forestier masterfully captures this moment of triumph over adversity. Through intricate details and expert shading techniques, Forestier brings life to Besant's words - "The World Went Very Well Then". This phrase serves as a reminder that despite challenges faced by individuals with disabilities during that time period (and even today), they too can find success and happiness. This powerful engraving not only showcases the strength of character but also highlights society's evolving perception towards disability throughout history. It serves as an inspiration for all those who encounter it; reminding us that true greatness lies within one's spirit rather than physical abilities alone.
