EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a typical London slum in the 20th century. Taken by an English photographer, it offers a glimpse into the history and living conditions of this era. The image is part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for Flats, Design and Equipment, a book by H Ingham Ashworth published in 1936. In the photograph, we see children playing outside their modest apartment building. The dilapidated houses form a terrace that stretches along the street. These cramped living spaces were characteristic of London slums during this time period. The children's presence adds life to the scene, showcasing their resilience despite challenging circumstances. Notably, there is a privy visible in the yard behind them—a reminder of basic sanitation facilities available at that time. This detail further emphasizes the harsh reality faced by those residing in these slums. The historical significance of this photo lies not only in its depiction of poverty but also in its documentation of social housing conditions prevalent during that era. It serves as a powerful reminder of how far society has come since then. This image from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating progress made towards providing better living standards for all members of society today.
