EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1871, as depicted in an unpublished drawing by the renowned artist Gustave Dore. From his Life And Reminiscences collection published in 1885, this artwork offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by many during that time. The scene portrays a poverty-stricken family residing in a dilapidated hovel, their home barely providing shelter from the unforgiving elements. The artist's meticulous sketch captures every detail of their destitution - worn-out clothes, gaunt faces, and weary expressions. It serves as a poignant reminder of the immense hardships endured by those living on the fringes of society. In this atmospheric illustration, Dore skillfully brings to life not only the physical surroundings but also hints at an underlying sense of danger lurking within these impoverished neighborhoods. The presence of thieves suggests that even within such dire circumstances, survival often meant resorting to desperate measures. Ken Welsh's expertly printed photo allows us to appreciate Dore's artistic mastery and transports us back to a defining era in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of both the resilience and vulnerability inherent in humanity throughout different periods. This artwork is truly an evocative representation of 19th-century London and its inhabitants' struggle for survival amidst overwhelming adversity.
