EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a Gypsy family encamped on Putney Common in London during the 1870s. The image presents a poignant depiction of poverty and the simple accommodations that these itinerant travellers called home. The photograph shows a woman, likely a mother, cradling her young baby in a basket while weaving a basket of her own. Her husband or partner, dressed in traditional Gypsy attire, tends to their donkey, which is hitched to their tent. The family's belongings are spread around the campsite, including pots, pans, and other essentials for survival. Putney Common, a large open space in southwest London, was a popular site for Gypsy encampments during this time. The area offered a degree of seclusion and access to resources, such as water and firewood, which were essential for the nomadic community. However, the presence of the Gypsies was not always welcomed by the local population, and they faced discrimination and persecution. Despite the challenges they faced, the Gypsy community continued to thrive, passing down their traditions and way of life from generation to generation. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into their daily lives, revealing the resilience and resourcefulness of these itinerant travellers. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within the diverse communities of London's past and present.
