Begging Techniques
Three types of British beggar. At top left is a soap-eater of the Elizabethan period, who would eat soap in order to froth at the mouth, while feigning a fit to gain sympathy. At top right is a Tom of Bedlam, a beggar, who feigned mental illness, and was assumed to be a former inmate of Bedlam (Bethlem Royal Hospital). The lower image depicts a disabled beggar with a dog holding a collection plate, circa 1500. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
