EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant black and white lithograph, we are transported back to the 19th century where a group of children eagerly wait to be admitted to the Dinner at Brighton. The image captures both the innocence and vulnerability of these young souls as they stand in line, their eyes filled with anticipation. The scene depicts a moment of hope amidst poverty, as charity provides them with an opportunity for a warm meal. Their tattered clothes and worn-out shoes serve as reminders of their difficult circumstances, yet there is a sense of resilience that emanates from their expressions. Brighton Beach serves as the backdrop for this powerful illustration, its vastness contrasting with the small figures huddled together. It is here that these little ones find solace and temporary respite from their daily struggles. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 10th, 1891 - a testament to how art can shed light on social issues even during times long past. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us of our duty to care for those less fortunate and highlights the importance of compassion in our society. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem within its private collection, allowing us to reflect upon the plight faced by countless children throughout history. May it serve as a reminder that every child deserves love, nourishment, and opportunities regardless of their circumstances.
