EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Gustave Dore's iconic artwork titled "A house of refuge - in London". Created in 1876, this engraving depicts a poignant scene from daily life in England during that era. The image showcases the harsh realities faced by impoverished families and children living in London. In this powerful composition, Dore skillfully portrays the misery and destitution experienced by those residing within the city's slums. The dilapidated building serves as a symbol of both despair and hope, as it represents a place of refuge for those who have nowhere else to turn. The intricate details captured by Leonard de Selva's photography highlight the depth of emotion conveyed through Dore's work. Every line etched into the engraving tells a story of struggle, resilience, and compassion amidst overwhelming poverty. This evocative piece reminds us of the stark contrast between wealth and destitution that existed during Victorian times. It serves as a reminder that even within great cities like London, there were individuals living on the fringes of society, desperately seeking assistance and support. Dore's "A house of refuge - in London" is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an important historical document shedding light on social inequality and advocating for change. This print allows us to reflect upon our past while urging us to strive for greater equity and compassion in our present-day society.
