EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Illustration for Phil Mays Gutter-Snipes" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases a group of young gutter snipes, street children who navigated the lower class neighborhoods with their acrobatic skills and resourcefulness. The artist, Phil May, known for his keen observation of urban life, beautifully captures the essence of these children as they confidently stroll through the dirty gutters. Their resilience is evident as they walk on stilts, showcasing their acrobatic abilities while defying societal expectations. The scene is filled with energy and movement; you can almost hear the laughter and chatter among these young adventurers. Despite their challenging circumstances, there is a sense of camaraderie amongst them as they navigate through life's obstacles together. This digitally cleaned print allows us to appreciate May's intricate engravings even more. Each line tells a story - from the details on each child's face to the worn-out clothes that speak volumes about their daily struggles. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of both the hardships faced by these gutter snipes and their indomitable spirit. It serves as a poignant reminder that within every society exists those who defy expectations and find joy amidst adversity.
