EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1902, captures a moment of respite for a group of vagrants in the heart of Central London's Green Park. During the daytime opening hours of the city's parks, these spaces provided a temporary refuge for the homeless and destitute. In this scene, one sleeper, located to the left, is seen wrapped in a blanket, suggesting an attempt to insulate himself from the cold and damp. The historical context of this image places it in the Edwardian era, a time when poverty and homelessness were widespread, and the workhouse system, which offered only meager sustenance and harsh living conditions, remained the primary safety net for those in need. The lush grass of Green Park offers a stark contrast to the hardships faced by these individuals, who were forced to seek shelter amongst its grounds. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the historical struggle against poverty and homelessness in London, and the ongoing efforts to address these issues in our modern society.
