EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Bull's-Eye" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the dark and squalid streets of Victorian London. Captured by Gustave Dore in 1872, this engraving brings to life William Blanchard Jerrold's renowned book, "London: A Pilgrimage". In this evocative scene, we find ourselves immersed in the heart of a gloomy slum district. The flickering light from a policeman's lantern illuminates the desolate alleyway, casting eerie shadows upon dilapidated buildings and cobblestone pavements. The title itself refers to the name given to the lens within that very lantern. Dore masterfully captures the essence of poverty and despair that plagued many Londoners during this era. The uniformed policemen stand as symbols of authority amidst an environment steeped in sordidness. Their presence offers a glimmer of hope amid overwhelming darkness. With meticulous detail and skillful technique, Adolphe Francois Pannemaker engraved Dore's original work, bringing forth every intricate aspect of this hauntingly beautiful scene. "The Bull's-Eye" serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It transports us back in time to experience firsthand the harsh realities faced by those living in urban Victorian society. Through its stark portrayal of poverty and destitution, it reminds us not only of our past but also highlights societal
