EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the heart-wrenching reality of abandoned children in 19th century London. In this scene, an old man tenderly comforts a child at a refuge specifically created for these neglected orphans. The child's fragile frame and sorrowful expression speak volumes about the hardships they have endured. Meanwhile, another man can be seen gently ushering concerned children away from the distressing scene. Perhaps he is shielding them from witnessing the harsh realities that these abandoned children face on a daily basis. The image itself is based on an illustration by Gustave Dore, a renowned artist known for his evocative depictions of social issues. This particular illustration was featured in the 1890 American edition of "London: A Pilgrimage" written by Blanchard Jerrold and illustrated by Dore himself. Ken Welsh has skillfully captured this historical moment through his expert photography skills, preserving it as a piece of art that serves as both a reminder of our past and a call to action to ensure no child suffers such neglect again. This print would make for powerful wall art, not only adding aesthetic value but also serving as a thought-provoking conversation starter about our collective responsibility towards vulnerable children throughout history.
