EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful chromolitho print captures the heartbreaking reality of a homeless mother and her children in Victorian Britain. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, portrays the misery and poverty that plagued many families during this era. In the dimly lit streets of Great Britain, this mother finds herself struggling to provide for her young ones. The illustration is taken from Bubbles, a book edited by Dr Barnardo and published in London around 1895. It serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh conditions faced by countless families at that time. The colors used in this lithograph evoke a sense of despair and hopelessness, reflecting both the physical and emotional struggles endured by these vulnerable individuals. The shades of darkness symbolize their dire circumstances while also highlighting society's failure to address homelessness effectively. As we gaze upon this scene from history, it becomes clear that childhood innocence is overshadowed by hardship. The little boy clings tightly to his mother's side, seeking solace amidst uncertainty. Meanwhile, his younger siblings appear fragile yet resilient as they navigate their challenging surroundings. This artwork serves as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility to address social issues such as homelessness with compassion and urgency. It urges us not only to acknowledge past injustices but also to strive for a brighter future where every child has access to stability and security within their own homes.
