EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Waiting for the Verdicts" by Frederick L. Bernard depicts a poignant scene of parents anxiously awaiting their fate after being questioned by a School Board official regarding their children's truancy. The artwork was created as an illustration for George R Sims' book, "How The Poor Live" published in 1883. In this powerful image, we witness the struggle and hardship faced by working-class families in Victorian London. The expressions on the parents' faces reveal a mixture of fear, desperation, and resignation as they await judgment on their failure to provide education for their children. The artist skillfully captures the appalling conditions and misery that permeated the lives of many during this era. Through his intricate details and masterful use of light and shadow, he transports us back to a time when poverty was rampant in Britain. This engraving serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those living in poverty-stricken communities during the 19th century. It sheds light on not only the dire circumstances but also highlights societal issues such as inadequate access to education. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are compelled to reflect upon our own privilege and consider how far society has come since then. It is a testament to human resilience while serving as a call-to-action to continue striving for equality and better opportunities for all children worldwide.
