EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a heartbreaking scene from 19th century London, as a policeman discovers a group of homeless boys and girls seeking shelter under the Adelphi arches near Charing Cross. The image, taken in 1856, provides a glimpse into the harsh reality faced by street children during this time period.
The faces of these young individuals tell stories of hardship and struggle, their eyes reflecting a sense of vulnerability and desperation. Despite their circumstances, there is a sense of resilience among them as they huddle together for warmth and protection.
The Adelphi arches serve as both a physical barrier from the elements and a symbol of societal neglect towards these marginalized youth. It is a stark reminder of the inequalities that existed in Victorian London, where poverty and homelessness were rampant.
Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the challenges faced by street Arabs - as they were derogatorily referred to - who had no choice but to fend for themselves on the unforgiving streets of the city.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this historical moment with great care, allowing us to reflect on our past and consider how far we have come in addressing issues of homelessness and child welfare. This image serves as an important reminder that compassion and support are essential in ensuring all members of society have access to basic necessities and opportunities for growth.
