EDITORS COMMENTS
The Orphans (colour litho) captures the poignant yet heartwarming essence of childhood in the late 19th century. Created by Edith Farmiloe, this delightful comic print showcases a group of endearing children who have found solace and companionship amidst their challenging circumstances. Set against the backdrop of London's East End, these lower-class urchins embody resilience and innocence as they navigate through life's hardships. The artist skillfully portrays each child's unique personality, from the mischievous boy with a cheeky grin to the gentle girl cradling a newborn baby. Their expressive faces evoke both joy and vulnerability, reminding us of the universal experiences that transcend time. Farmiloe's illustration was originally published in Rag, Tag, and Bobtail alongside verses by Winifred Parnell in 1899. This collaboration beautifully combines humor and entertainment with social commentary on Victorian society. Through her artistry, Farmiloe sheds light on the plight of orphans during this era while also celebrating their resilience and sense of camaraderie. This print serves as a window into history, offering glimpses into daily life for working-class children in 19th-century England. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, laughter and friendship can be found – providing hope for a brighter future. Displayed within private collections worldwide today, 'The Orphans' continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and evocative storytelling.
