Caption: "The Old Vagabond - A Glimpse into the 19th Century World of Poverty and Wanderlust". This print, titled "The Old Vagabond from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" offers a poignant portrayal of a destitute man in 19th century France. Created by Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as J. J. Grandville, this wood engraving captures the essence of poverty and hardship that plagued many during this era. Dressed in tattered clothing with a worn-out hat perched on his head, the old vagabond stands as a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. His weathered face tells stories untold; it reflects years spent wandering through country lanes and city streets. With every line etched on his face, one can sense the weight of countless struggles endured. Grandville's meticulous attention to detail brings life to this evocative scene. The engraving showcases not only the physical appearance but also conveys an emotional depth rarely seen in art forms. It serves as a reminder that even amid societal progress and prosperity, there were those left behind – forgotten souls who roamed aimlessly seeking solace. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork is part of Pierre Jean de Béranger's complete works collection from 1836. Its presence within such esteemed walls ensures its preservation for generations to come. "The Old Vagabond"
