Hungry Peeling Starving Trough Urchin Urchins Peelings
EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Make haste young un or they won't have a turnip paring for us" transports us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the harsh realities of destitute children. Taken from an engraving by an anonymous English School artist, this image is part of Frances Trollope's renowned novel, The Life and Adventures of Michael Armstrong. In this poignant scene, we witness hungry and ravenous boys breaking into a farmyard to scavenge for sustenance. Clad in ragged clothing that speaks volumes about their impoverished circumstances, these Victorian urchins find solace in devouring pig swill. Their desperation is palpable as they huddle around a trough filled with discarded peelings. Frances Trollope, a pioneering female novelist of her time, sheds light on the plight of these forgotten souls through her work. Known alternately as Michael Armstrong: Factory Boy, her novel delves deep into the struggles faced by impoverished children during the Industrial Revolution. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility towards those less fortunate. It urges us to reflect on societal inequalities and challenges us to take action against poverty and hunger that persist even today. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by www. bridgemanart. com from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let it serve as both an indictment of past injustices and inspiration for future change.
