EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the haunting corridors of Andover Workhouse in 1846. Once a place intended for charity and relief, it became the epicenter of a scandal that shook England in 1845-6. McDougal, the master of this very workhouse, faced grave accusations of excessive cruelty towards its vulnerable inhabitants. The angle from which this photograph was taken adds an unusual perspective to the scene. The stark landscape surrounding the imposing building serves as a reminder of the isolation experienced by those seeking refuge within its walls. It is through this lens that we witness history unfold before our eyes. Originally published in Illustrated London News in 1846, this image captures both the physical structure and emotional weight carried by institutions like Andover Workhouse during pre-1849 Europe. Its presence stands as a testament to societies grappling with poverty and inequality. As we gaze upon this powerful visual representation, let us not forget those who suffered within these walls and reflect on how far we have come since then. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to ensure compassion and fairness prevail over cruelty and neglect in all corners of society.
