This print titled "The Charity Bazaar, 'No change given'" transports us to a bygone era, immersing us in the world of charitable acts and societal contrasts. Created by William Dacres Adams, this colour lithograph captures a moment of profound significance. The image showcases a bustling charity bazaar where mendicants gather with hope in their eyes. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays the scene vividly, highlighting the diverse characters that make up this charitable event. From beggars seeking alms to tramps and vagabonds finding solace within these walls, each figure tells a unique story. Adams' work not only serves as an illustration for A Book of Beggars but also becomes a visual representation of compassion and empathy. The title itself - "No change given" - hints at the irony embedded in this philanthropic setting.
