EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mendiant religieux" showcases an engraving by the European School from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, depicts a religious beggar in intricate native attire. This thought-provoking artwork was originally created as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" published by Hachette in 1872. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the fine details and craftsmanship of this engraving. It serves as a reminder of the rich diversity within humanity, highlighting different racial types and ethnicities through their distinctive clothing and cultural expressions. In particular, this portrayal focuses on Indian culture, presenting an Indian mendicant or beggar dressed in traditional garments. Through this depiction, we are encouraged to reflect upon societal stereotypes that may exist surrounding poverty and race. The artist skillfully captures both the individuality of this specific mendicant and broader themes related to human differences across various races. By shedding light on these subjects, "Mendiant religieux" invites viewers to contemplate our shared humanity while challenging preconceived notions about others based solely on appearance or social status. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical artwork for future generations to appreciate its beauty and significance.
