The Creche - Dinner Time - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of 19th Century Poverty in England
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful engraving, created by Frederick L. Bernard, offers a poignant depiction of life for the impoverished in Victorian London. Titled "The Creche - Dinner Time" it serves as an illustration for George R Sims' book, How The Poor Live. In this scene, we witness a group of hungry boys and girls gathered around a meager table to share what little food they have. The conditions are appalling; their faces reflect both hunger and hardship. A woman stands nearby, caring for these young urchins with compassion amidst the misery that surrounds them. The image captures not only the physical deprivation but also the human spirit's resilience in such dire circumstances. It reminds us of the stark contrast between wealth and poverty during this era. Bernard's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to a time when access to basic necessities was scarce for many children living in Britain. This print serves as a sobering reminder of how far society has come since then in terms of providing food security and improving living conditions. "The Creche - Dinner Time" is an evocative portrayal that compels viewers to contemplate social inequality and appreciate efforts made towards progress over time.
