Military tailor and in family in Bethnal Green
This is a room occupied by a military tailor and his family at No. 10 Hollybush Place in Bethnal Green in the East End of London. Weavers and tailors kept their rooms as clean as possible owing to the nature of their trade but lived in squalid and decrepit buildings run by landlords who felt no urgency to clean or renovate these slum dwellings. Here the tailor and his family toil day and night in miserable living conditions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the harsh reality of life for a military tailor and his family in Bethnal Green, London in 1863. The room they occupy at No. 10 Hollybush Place is a stark contrast between their efforts to keep it clean due to the nature of their trade, and the squalid and decrepit conditions of the building itself.
In this cramped space, the tailor and his family toil day and night, working tirelessly amidst miserable living conditions. Landlords show no urgency to clean or renovate these slum dwellings, leaving families like this one trapped in poverty.
The image serves as an important reminder of the hardships faced by working-class families during this time period. It highlights not only the physical toll of their labor but also the emotional strain of living in such dire circumstances.
As we reflect on this piece of history, we are reminded of the resilience and determination shown by individuals who persevered despite facing overwhelming challenges. It is a testament to the strength of human spirit in even the most difficult times.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online offers a glimpse into a chapter of our past that should never be forgotten - a powerful depiction of struggle, survival, and ultimately, hope for something better.
