EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""Greg, my boy, creep under my shawl and have a bit o my supper"" transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of poverty in London. The image depicts an old woman extending her shawl as shelter for a young boy named Greg while sharing her meager supper with him. The scene exudes both kindness and desperation, showcasing the compassion that can arise even in the most challenging circumstances. As Greg seeks refuge beneath the woman's protective shawl, we witness their connection transcending age and social status. It is through this act of generosity that they find solace amidst their shared struggles. This engraving originally served as an illustration for "The Childrens Friend" publication in 1881, highlighting societal issues prevalent during that era. The artist masterfully captures the emotions etched on both characters' faces – weariness mixed with gratitude and hope. Through this poignant artwork, we are reminded of the resilience displayed by individuals facing adversity throughout history. It serves as a powerful testament to human empathy and our capacity to offer support even when resources are scarce. As we reflect upon this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it inspire us to extend compassion towards those experiencing hardship today. May it encourage us to recognize our shared humanity and strive for a more inclusive world where no child or person goes hungry or lacks shelter.
