EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Poverty in Victorian Britain, late 19th Century" offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities faced by families during this era. Created by Henry Herbert Bulman and featured in the book Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo, this illustration transports us back to London's streets in the late 1800s. The scene depicts a mother and her two children walking along a dimly lit street illuminated only by a solitary lamppost. The weariness etched on their faces tells of their struggle for survival amidst poverty. The woman carries a small bundle while her young son clings tightly to her side. A sense of hunger permeates the image as they make their way home after what appears to be an unsuccessful search for food. The artist's use of vibrant colors adds depth to the narrative, contrasting with the bleakness of their circumstances. This visual representation serves as a reminder that poverty knows no boundaries and affects individuals from all walks of life. Through this powerful lithograph, we are transported into an era where societal inequalities were starkly evident. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that sheds light on the hardships endured by countless families during Victorian Britain. As we reflect upon this image, let it serve as a call to action—a reminder that there is still much work to be done in addressing poverty and ensuring equal opportunities for all members of society.
