EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Slum Dwelling" offers a poignant glimpse into the impoverished lives of women in 19th century London. The ink on paper artwork, created by an English School artist, showcases a dilapidated dwelling where destitution and despair are palpable. In this haunting image, we witness a woman lying on the floor, her weary body seemingly drained from the weight of poverty.
