Framed Print of The Distress in Paris: giving soup to the poor at the charity kitchen, rue de Sevres, 1874. Creator: Jenkin
The Distress in Paris: giving soup to the poor at the charity kitchen, rue de Sevres, 1874. The severe distress this winter among the poorer classes in Paris, where there is no regular poor-law provision, as in England, for the relief of the destitute, has led many influential and benevolent persons to take part in special efforts. The Duchesse de Magenta, wife of Marshal Mac Mahon, Duc de Magenta, Septennial President of the French Government, has been placed at the head of some important charities. Her proposal is to increase the number of soup-kitchens. At present there are forty of these soup-kitchens, which distribute 10, 000 rations per diem. The Duchess thinks that seven more soup-kitchens ought to be established, and that the number of daily rations should be increased to 35, 000. The distributions, however, are not free; each ration, worth about three halfpence, is sold to the applicants for one halfpenny - the Parisian poor objecting to receive charity. A large class of artisans, too, cannot avail themselves of soup-kitchens. The bureaux de bienfaisance are so organised that they do but little good, especially owing to the formalities and regulations that fence round all applications for relief'.
