EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a scene of desperation and hunger in the workhouse, as depicted in Charles Dickens' iconic novel Oliver Twist. The image shows a young boy, known as Oliver, bravely asking for more food from his master. The shock on the master's face is evident as he clings to the copper for support. The illustration by Harry Furniss perfectly encapsulates the social injustice and poverty that plagued 19th century England. The boys surrounding Oliver are frozen with fear, while the assistants stand paralyzed with wonder at this audacious act of defiance. Dickens' story sheds light on the harsh realities faced by orphans like Oliver who were subjected to starvation and neglect within these institutions. Through his vivid descriptions and memorable characters, Dickens exposed the flaws in Victorian society's treatment of its most vulnerable members. Furniss' sketch beautifully captures both the innocence of childhood and the starkness of their circumstances. It serves as a haunting reminder of how far we have come in terms of social welfare since those times. This print is not just an artistic representation; it symbolizes a turning point in literature that brought attention to societal issues that were often overlooked. It stands as a testament to both Dickens' literary genius and Furniss' ability to bring his words to life through visual artistry.
