EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful print captures a glimpse of history in Westminster, London in 1870. The scene depicts a night-time view across Westminster Bridge, with the iconic Houses of Parliament illuminated in the distance. However, what truly stands out in this image are the heartbreaking sights of several hard-up men sleeping rough under the stars.
As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those less fortunate during that era. The dim glow of lanterns and shadows cast by passing carriages only serve to emphasize the desperation and poverty experienced by these beggars.
Despite the grandeur of their surroundings, these men find themselves on society's fringes, seeking shelter wherever they can find it. Their presence serves as a stark reminder that not everyone was able to enjoy the luxuries afforded by Victorian England.
Through this powerful image captured by Dore in 1870, we are transported back to a time when life was far from easy for many individuals living on the streets of Westminster. It is a poignant reminder that while some may bask in opulence and wealth, others struggle simply to survive another day.
