EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Orphan" transports us to a rural scene in the mid-19th century. The image, originally painted by Thomas Faed around 1865, has been beautifully engraved and edited by Sidney Armytage in 1870. It depicts a poignant moment within a humble croft farmhouse. In this heart-wrenching portrayal of poverty, we see six individuals gathered inside the home's interior. A mother and grandmother stand alongside each other, their faces etched with weariness and resilience. A young child clings to his mother's skirt, seeking solace amidst their challenging circumstances. The room itself exudes simplicity; a fireplace crackles softly in the background as its warmth fills the space. The walls bear witness to years of struggle and sacrifice, yet there is an undeniable sense of unity among these family members. Outside the window, we catch a glimpse of rural life - chickens pecking at grains scattered on the ground while a proud rooster stands guard over his flock. This juxtaposition between nature's abundance and human hardship further emphasizes the challenges faced by those living in poverty during this era. "The Orphan" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a powerful social commentary on inequality. Through this evocative print created between 1850-1859, pictore captures not only our attention but also our empathy for those who have endured unimaginable hardships throughout history.
