EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bluegase-field, illustration from Londres" takes us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. Created by Louis Enault in 1876 and engraved by Heliodore Joseph Pisan, this piece captures the essence of poverty and squalor that plagued the city during the Industrial Revolution. The image showcases a male and female figure standing amidst a dilapidated slum area, illuminated only by a solitary street lamp. The scene is hauntingly reminiscent of Dickensian tales, evoking feelings of empathy for those living in destitution. A child can be seen nearby, perhaps representing the innocence lost within these harsh conditions. Beggars dotting the landscape further emphasize the desperation faced by many Londoners at that time. Enault's illustration was originally featured in "Londres: A Pilgrimage" written by Blanchard Jerrold. This French edition sheds light on how poverty transcended borders during this era. Gustave Dore's artistic touch brings depth to this engraving, capturing every intricate detail with precision. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical artwork serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by social inequality and urban decay. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, let it serve as a testament to our progress while also reminding us not to forget those who still face similar struggles around the world.
