EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon by Charles Keene sheds light on the concerns surrounding sanitation in London during the 19th century. The detailed illustration captures a barber and his customer, both holding their noses due to the overwhelming smell of sewage in the air. Keene's scathing satire highlights the lack of hygiene and proper sanitation practices in England at that time.
The engraving serves as a commentary on the dire state of public health in Victorian-era London, where issues such as waste disposal and cleanliness were often overlooked. Through this work of art, Keene brings attention to the need for improved sanitation infrastructure to prevent diseases and maintain overall well-being.
As an English artist and illustrator, Keene masterfully conveys his message through clever visual storytelling, making viewers reflect on the importance of proper sanitation practices even today. This piece serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of public health advancements, while also urging us to continue prioritizing clean environments for future generations.
Overall, this cartoon is not just a historical artifact but also a timeless reminder of the critical role that sanitation plays in maintaining healthy communities.
