In the Lodging House
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph print that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an illustration for Bubbles edited by Dr Barnardo in 1903. This poignant image, part of a private collection, captures the essence of life within a lodging house during this era. The scene depicts a group of children huddled together in what appears to be their humble abode. Their hair tousled and unkempt, they exude innocence and vulnerability. The vibrant colours bring attention to the flickering flames from a small fire or brazier that provides warmth and light amidst the darkness. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the harsh realities faced by impoverished families during this time. It highlights the thinness and frailty of these young souls, perhaps reflecting their struggle with poverty and lack of proper nourishment. The dilapidated state of the lodging house hints at its precariousness as a dwelling place for those who have fallen on hard times. It evokes feelings of sympathy towards these children who are forced to endure such conditions. "In the Lodging House" not only showcases artistic talent but also sheds light on social issues prevalent in society during this period. It serves as an important historical document that reminds us of our responsibility towards those less fortunate than ourselves.
