EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Orange Mart, Dukes Place" offers a glimpse into the historical conditions of 19th century London. The image depicts a bustling street scene, showcasing the lives of impoverished Londoners and their daily struggles. As part of Henry Mayhew's renowned publication "London Labour and the London Poor" this illustration sheds light on the working class and their occupations during that era. In this particular print, we witness an orange mart situated in Dukes Place, serving as a hub for trade and commerce. The shop itself is filled with vibrant oranges, symbolizing both sustenance and hope amidst challenging circumstances. Surrounding it are people from various walks of life - men, women, and children alike - all engaged in different types of work to make ends meet. The image serves as a reminder of the stark realities faced by those living in poverty-stricken areas like Dukes Place. It captures not only the physical deprivation but also highlights the resilience and determination exhibited by these individuals despite their dire circumstances. As we delve into this historical depiction through Bridgeman Images' lens, we gain insight into how society functioned during that time period while contemplating our own progress towards creating more equitable conditions for all members of society today.
