EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during a Christmas feast in the East End of London. The image, created as a chromolitho by Henry Herbert Bulman, showcases the harsh reality faced by a poor homeless boy amidst the festive celebrations. The young boy's presence at the banquet serves as a stark reminder of the widespread poverty and hunger that plagued 19th century England. His somber expression reflects both his longing for nourishment and his gratitude for being included in this charitable event. The scene is depicted with vibrant colors, highlighting not only the desperation but also the resilience of these marginalized children. This illustration was featured in Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo, an influential figure who dedicated his life to helping underprivileged youth. Through this powerful lithograph, we are transported back to an era where philanthropy played a crucial role in addressing social issues. It serves as a testament to the compassion and generosity displayed by individuals like Dr Barnardo and others who sought to alleviate suffering during times of great need. As we reflect on this image from history, it reminds us of our collective responsibility to continue fighting against poverty and homelessness today. It prompts us to remember those less fortunate during holiday seasons when abundance surrounds us all.
