EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical illustration from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a scene from 19th century Britain, highlighting the stark contrast between cleanliness and squalor. Entitled "Soc. Scene-Clean / Unclean (A rather moralistic illustration entitled: Cleanliness is next to Godliness)," this print serves as a reminder of the societal values placed on tidiness and hygiene during that time.
In the image, we see two distinct scenes side by side - one depicting a well-kept, tidy home with a proud husband standing beside his family, and the other showing a cluttered, dirty living space filled with disarray. The message is clear: cleanliness is associated with virtue and godliness, while uncleanliness suggests moral decay.
Through this visual narrative, viewers are transported back to an era where social class was often determined by one's ability to maintain a clean household. The pride of the husband in the clean scene juxtaposed with the shame of neglect in the unclean scene speaks volumes about societal expectations and values surrounding domestic life.
Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into history and serves as a thought-provoking commentary on class dynamics, family life, and cultural attitudes towards cleanliness in 19th century Britain.
