EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Sketches in a London Workhouse" takes us back to the grim reality of 19th-century poverty-stricken London. Created by William Douglas Almond in 1889, this powerful illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News. The image transports us to the heart of a workhouse, where destitute individuals sought refuge during times of desperation. Almond's attention to detail allows us to witness the harsh conditions endured by those who found themselves trapped within these walls. From the soldier with his worn-out uniform and tired eyes, symbolizing broken dreams and lost hope, to the Australian equatter struggling with his own demons, each figure tells a unique story of hardship. Through skillful engraving techniques, Almond captures not only physical poverty but also emotional despair. The reduced tradesman depicted here serves as a reminder that even skilled workers were not immune from falling into destitution during this era. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a stark reminder of how far society has come since then. It prompts reflection on our progress towards creating more equitable systems for all individuals. This artwork is an invaluable historical document that sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of Victorian society – one that should never be forgotten or repeated. Bridgeman Images' preservation and display of this lithograph ensures that future generations can learn from its poignant message about social inequality and strive for a better tomorrow.
