EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Street-Seller of Dogs Collars" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a snapshot of the working class conditions during this era. In the foreground, we see a street vendor diligently displaying his wares - an array of dog collars neatly arranged on a wooden cart. His weathered face tells tales of hardship and resilience as he navigates through the poverty-stricken streets. This poignant illustration was originally featured in Henry Mayhew's groundbreaking book "London Labour and the London Poor" shedding light on the lives of those often overlooked. The scene is filled with layers of history and social commentary. It serves as a stark reminder that not everyone enjoyed prosperity during this time period; instead, many were left deprived and struggling to make ends meet. The presence of a walking stick hints at physical challenges faced by these hardworking individuals. Through this powerful artwork, we are transported into an era where occupations like street selling were prevalent among Londoners from all walks of life. It reminds us to appreciate our present circumstances while acknowledging the struggles faced by those who came before us.
