EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Census (engraving)" takes us back to the year 1861, providing a glimpse into the social and economic landscape of that time. The image, created by Thomas Harrington Wilson after an original illustration for the Illustrated Times, offers a rich tapestry of scenes from various locations across England. In this intricate engraving, we witness the arduous task of census-taking as enumerators traverse different settings. From a gipsy encampment in London to dwellings in the Forest of Dean and even a workhouse casual ward, every corner is meticulously captured. The artist's attention to detail allows us to observe poverty-stricken areas where charcoal burners struggle for survival alongside caravans nestled amidst Cumberland Mountains. The juxtaposition between these destitute regions and affluent neighborhoods like Belgravia highlights stark societal contrasts during this era. Additionally, showmen from Cumbria add another layer of diversity to this visual narrative. As we delve into this historical masterpiece preserved in private collection, it serves as a reminder of how far society has progressed since then. It prompts reflection on our collective responsibility towards addressing poverty and inequality while appreciating the strides made over time. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder presents us with an invaluable opportunity to explore such significant prints that capture moments frozen in history forevermore.
