EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Morning Call" takes us back to 19th century England, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a young chimney sweep. The image, captured in vivid color lithography by George Baxter and now part of a private collection, showcases the boy standing at a front door, his small figure contrasting against the grandeur of Victorian architecture. The soot-covered child appears to be calling out or perhaps announcing his arrival for work. This poignant scene serves as a stark reminder of the harsh reality faced by many children during that era – child labor and its associated hardships. As we observe this little boy amidst London's dirty streets, it is impossible not to reflect on the social issues prevalent at that time. Although originating from Germany, this artwork provides valuable insight into British culture and history. It sheds light on an aspect often overlooked – the influence of German immigrants in shaping various industries across Great Britain. As we contemplate this powerful image within its European context, it prompts us to consider broader themes such as childhood innocence lost too soon and societal progress made since then. Through art like this, we are reminded of our shared heritage and how far we have come as nations united under the European Union banner.
