EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a heartwarming scene from the late 19th century, showcasing poor homeless children finding joy and laughter at a Dr Barnardo's supper. The image depicts these underprivileged children engrossed in a Punch and Judy show, their faces filled with delight as they momentarily escape the hardships of their lives. The illustration is taken from Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo himself, and serves as a powerful reminder of the philanthropic work carried out by this renowned charity during that era. Dr Thomas John Barnardo dedicated his life to helping vulnerable children living on the streets of London, providing them with shelter, education, and opportunities for a better future. In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness not only the innocence of childhood but also the transformative power of compassion. Despite their difficult circumstances and limited resources, these young boys and girls are able to find solace in simple pleasures like watching a puppet show. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph further emphasize both the poverty surrounding these children and their resilience in finding moments of happiness amidst adversity. It is an evocative portrayal that reminds us all about the importance of extending kindness to those less fortunate than ourselves. This historical artwork serves as an enduring testament to Dr Barnardo's legacy while shedding light on societal issues that still persist today.
