EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Romanian beggar in 1928. The creator remains unknown, but their ability to convey emotion through this image is undeniable. An elderly man, weathered by time and hardship, sits with his begging bowl held tightly in his hands. His face tells a story of struggle and resilience. The photograph originates from "Die Welt in Bildern" (The World in Pictures), a cigarette card album produced by Georg A Jasmatzi in Dresden, Germany. This unique piece of history provides us with a glimpse into the lives of those less fortunate during the early 20th century. In an era marked by poverty and economic turmoil, this image serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by many people around the world. The monochrome palette emphasizes the starkness of his situation while allowing us to focus on the intricate details that make him human. As we observe this full-length portrait, we are transported to Romania - a country known for its rich cultural heritage but also plagued by poverty at that time. The old man's presence evokes both empathy and admiration for his strength amidst adversity. Thanks to The Print Collector's preservation efforts, we can still appreciate these historical moments today. This print not only documents an individual's struggle but also represents countless others who experienced similar hardships during this tumultuous period. Let us reflect upon our own privileges as we gaze upon this poignant portrayal of humanity's endurance throughout generations past.
