EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the 1860s, where a young working boy is captured in his daily attire. Dressed in a felt hat, lightweight jacket made of coarse fabric, trousers, and sturdy boots, he exudes a sense of resilience and determination typical of the working class during the Victorian era.
The addition of a coarse apron further emphasizes the laborious nature of his work, highlighting the challenges faced by children who were often employed in various industries at that time. Despite his youth, this young boy embodies a strong work ethic and a sense of responsibility beyond his years.
Through this historical image, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by working-class children in the past and their crucial role in shaping society. The attention to detail in his outfit - from the texture of his clothing to the practicality of his footwear - provides valuable insights into both fashion trends and societal norms prevalent during this period.
Mary Evans Prints Online has expertly preserved this snapshot of history for us to reflect upon, serving as a poignant reminder of our collective past and honoring those whose contributions have often gone unnoticed.
