EDITORS COMMENTS
On the Tramp, 'Rags and Bones!' captures a poignant scene from 19th-century England, depicted in vibrant colors through a lithograph print. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, is part of a private collection. The image portrays a family on their journey through the countryside. A young child, surrounded by poverty and precariousness, walks alongside their mother. The child's innocence shines through as they hold onto their mother's hand with trust and hope for a better future. The title 'Rags and Bones!' hints at the harsh reality faced by this family. They rely on collecting discarded items like bones to survive amidst dire circumstances. Despite these challenges, there is an undeniable bond between parent and child that radiates warmth within the composition. This illustration originally appeared in Bubbles magazine edited by Dr Barnardo in 1900. It serves as both social commentary on the hardships faced by impoverished families during this era and as a call to action for societal change. Through its use of color and attention to detail, this lithograph invites viewers to reflect upon themes of poverty, resilience, and familial love. It stands as a reminder of the struggles endured by many throughout history while also inspiring empathy towards those facing similar difficulties today.
