EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Victor of Aveyron, the subject of J. E. Itard's renowned work "De l Education d un homme sauvage". The frontispiece, created by an anonymous 18th-century French artist, captures the essence of this feral young boy who was discovered in a forest near Saint-Sernin-sur-Rance in southern France. Victor's story is both fascinating and tragic. At the age of 12, he became the central character in François Truffaut's film "L'Enfant Sauvage" which depicted his extraordinary journey from isolation to attempted integration into society. This engraving serves as a visual testament to Victor's unique existence and his struggle with autism. The solemn expression on Victor's face hints at the challenges he faced as he navigated a world that was foreign to him. His piercing eyes seem to reflect a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, capturing both his vulnerability and resilience. Preserved within the archives of Institut National des Jeunes Sourds in Paris, this image offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us that every individual has their own story to tell, regardless of their circumstances or abilities. As we contemplate this photograph, let it serve as a reminder to embrace compassion and understanding for those who may be different from ourselves – for it is through empathy that we can bridge gaps between worlds and truly appreciate the beauty found within each person's unique
