EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harsh reality of homelessness in early 20th century London. The image shows a group of homeless women seeking shelter in the basement of a doss house located in Duval Street, East End. In this establishment, lodgers are required to pay sixpence for a bed per night and provide their own meals.
What makes this particular doss house unique is that it is not operated as a charity, but rather as a commercial business. Despite its commercial nature, the conditions inside the doss house are far from luxurious. The women depicted in the photograph appear tired and worn down, highlighting the struggles they face on a daily basis.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated. It provides valuable insight into the living conditions of marginalized individuals during this time period. The stark contrast between those who have homes and those who do not is evident in every detail captured by the photographer.
As we reflect on this poignant snapshot of history, let us remember that homelessness is not just an issue of the past - it continues to affect countless individuals around the world today. This photo serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to address systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and inequality within our communities.
