EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's timeless masterpiece, "Les Miserables". Illustrated by Gustave Brion and published in 1866, the image depicts Gavroche, a young street urchin with a heart full of compassion. In this scene, Gavroche selflessly gives bread to other impoverished children, highlighting themes of generosity and solidarity amidst the backdrop of misery and poverty. The composition beautifully conveys the stark contrast between the innocence of childhood and the harsh realities faced by these young characters. Brion's skillful brushwork brings out their vulnerability while emphasizing their resilience in the face of adversity. The worn-out clothes and somber expressions on their faces serve as a powerful reminder of the hardships they endure daily. Through this visual narrative, we are reminded not only of the importance of basic sustenance but also how acts of kindness can bring hope to those living in despair. This image resonates deeply with readers who have been touched by Hugo's novel or its various adaptations across different mediums. Giancarlo Costa's expert reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail that Brion intended to convey over a century ago. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as both an artistic testament to human suffering and an enduring symbol for our ongoing struggle towards equity and justice for all.
