EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the imposing facade of the Lambeth Union Workhouse on Renfrew Road in London, built between 1871 and 1873 to the design of architect Thomas W. Aldwinckle. During the late 19th century, workhouses like this one served as institutions for the provision of housing, care, and medical treatment for the poor and destitute. In 1896, at the tender age of seven, the future silent film star, Charles Chaplin, briefly became an inmate of this very workhouse. The central block of the building, now a historic site, has been repurposed as the Lambeth Hospital and is currently home to the Cinema Museum. This poignant snapshot of history offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the stark realities of poverty and the social welfare system during the Victorian era. The image is a poignant reminder of the transformative power of art and creativity, as Chaplin went on to become one of the most iconic figures in the history of the silent screen." (Word count: 250)
