Begging Broom Corner Sailor Sailors Barefoot Hand Gesture Lascar Naval Warfare Traditional Dress
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lascar, c19th century" transports us back to the bustling streets of the 19th century. The image showcases a lone male figure standing barefoot on a street corner, his traditional dress indicating his identity as a sailor or Lascar. Despite the vibrant colors adorning his costume, there is an undeniable air of poverty surrounding him. The man's full-length portrait captures him in a moment of gesturing with one hand, perhaps conveying his plight or seeking assistance from passersby. His weary expression and worn-out appearance tell a story of hardship and struggle that was all too common during this era. The location remains unknown, but it is clear that this photograph was taken outside, adding to its authenticity and sense of realism. The backdrop consists of narrow lanes and avenues lined with modest buildings, further emphasizing the impoverished setting. As we gaze upon this poignant image, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by many individuals during the 19th century. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of historical context but also highlights themes such as poverty and social inequality that continue to resonate today. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into naval warfare history while shedding light on forgotten stories from centuries past. Its creator may be unknown; however, their ability to capture such raw emotion through photography leaves an indelible mark on our collective memory.
