EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1894 captures the moment of witty banter between a toothless old soak, Ben Bosker, and a pair of Salvation Army women, Salvation Sally, in the bustling streets of London. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms and bonnets, the Salvation Army women approach Ben, a rough-looking, lower class vagrant, who is known to frequent the local gin palace. With a stern expression, Salvation Sally warns Ben that if he doesn't mend his ways, he'll end up in a place filled with weeping and wailing, and the toothless Ben replies with a quick and comical retort, "I shan't have to do any weepin, cos I've nowt to weep about." The scene is a poignant reminder of the stark distinctions between the moral and immoral classes in Victorian society, and the efforts of charities like the Salvation Army to uplift the downtrodden. The toothless Ben, with his rough, weathered features and disheveled appearance, is a stark contrast to the pristine uniforms and earnest expressions of the Salvation Army women. The image is a testament to the power of humor and quick wit, even in the most unlikely of situations, and offers a glimpse into the colorful and often challenging world of urban London life in the late 19th century.
