EDITORS COMMENTS
The Gullet (engraving) captures the harsh reality of poverty-stricken London in the 19th century. This powerful image, created by an anonymous English artist, depicts the slums and overcrowded housing that plagued the city during this time. The engraving is a poignant reminder of the dire living conditions endured by many working-class families. The dilapidated buildings and cramped alleyways depicted in this artwork serve as a stark contrast to the grandeur often associated with Victorian England. Titled 'The Gullet, ' this illustration specifically references improvements made under the Artisans and Labourers Improvement Act of 1875. It highlights efforts to address some of these pressing social issues, albeit limited in scope. Through its intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this print transports us back to a time when poverty was rampant and basic living standards were far from guaranteed. It serves as both a historical document and a call for compassion towards those less fortunate. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images. Its inclusion within Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection ensures that it can be appreciated by audiences today who seek to understand our shared history while also acknowledging ongoing struggles against poverty.
