EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of compassion and selflessness in a Victorian winter setting. Titled "A Good Samaritan" this illustration from 1880 depicts a heartwarming scene that transcends time. In the foreground, we see a young girl, dressed in tattered clothing, her face reflecting both vulnerability and hope. She represents the face of poverty during this era. Standing beside her is another child, who appears to be offering something to help alleviate their shared struggle. The artist, Mary Ellen Edwards, skillfully portrays the act of giving through subtle gestures and expressions. The viewer can almost feel the warmth emanating from the outstretched hand as it offers solace to those less fortunate. Surrounding them are other children who also bear witness to this act of charity. Their curious gazes suggest admiration for their peer's kindness and perhaps even inspiration to follow suit. The wintry backdrop adds an additional layer of poignancy to the scene. It serves as a reminder that acts of goodwill are especially crucial during times when life feels harsh and unforgiving. Through this engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that compassion knows no boundaries - it is not confined by age or social status. This image continues to resonate today as a timeless reminder that even small acts of kindness have immense power in transforming lives and fostering empathy within society.
