Self-help techniques

Images

  • A depressive man standing by a country pond in the pouring rain - not helping his state of mind. Wood engraving, 1869.
  • A poor family starves in the centre of Paris: a workman brings them a bowl of soup, a banker for a "Philanthropic bank" ignores them, public funds are spent on a new stock exchange, and books are advertised advocating self-help. Lithograph by Villain after N.-T. Charlet, 1840.
