EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print from the Kean Collection, we are transported back to a time of great social upheaval and heart-wrenching loss. The illustration, originally engraved for Petersons Magazine circa 1865, depicts two young children orphaned by war. Standing outdoors in what appears to be a desolate setting, the full-length figures of these innocent souls evoke a sense of vulnerability and resilience. One child holds onto a broom, perhaps symbolizing their struggle to maintain some semblance of normalcy amidst chaos. Both youngsters wear hats that seem too large for their small heads, emphasizing their premature entry into adulthood. The illustrative technique employed here captures every intricate detail with remarkable precision. From the folds in their clothing to the expressions on their faces, one can almost feel the weight of their sorrow and uncertainty. This archival photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences war inflicts upon society's most vulnerable members. It speaks volumes about poverty and highlights pressing social issues that persist even today. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time between 1860-1869, let us not forget those who have suffered at the hands of conflict throughout history. May it inspire us to work towards creating a world where no child is left orphaned or subjected to such hardship again.
