EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Whitechapel in Wales" takes us back to a time when five medical students embarked on an extraordinary journey with a class of poor Whitechapel boys. The image, captured by Robert Barnes in 1889, showcases the group's arrival on the north-east coast of Anglesey. As night falls, the boys can be seen unloading their bags from the boat while eagerly anticipating their adventure. Excitement fills the air as they gather around a bonfire, dancing and sharing ghost stories under the watchful eye of their mentors – the medical students. The scene is bustling with activity; a clergyman entertains with his storytelling skills while others swim or engage in various activities. A tent is set up for cooking, where skilled craftsmen showcase their gastronomic talents. The aroma of freshly baked goods wafts through the air as one boy tends to his baking duties. In this picturesque setting, amidst fishing implements and boats being launched into the water, everyone comes together to create an atmosphere filled with joy and camaraderie. As day turns into evening, laughter echoes from every corner as fiddlers provide lively tunes for impromptu dances. This engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to unity and compassion across social boundaries. It reminds us that even amid challenging circumstances, there is always room for friendship and shared experiences that transcend societal divisions.
