EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant chromolitho print captures the heart-wrenching reality of poor children dreading their return home to a mother who awaits them empty-handed. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection and was featured in Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo, at The Children's Bookroom in London around 1895. The illustration portrays the deep emotions felt by these children as they face poverty and fear within their family dwelling. The ghostly figures of a woman, girl, and boy stand against a backdrop of history and social struggle in Great Britain and Europe during that time period. The use of color adds depth to the artwork, highlighting both the innocence of childhood and the darkness associated with alcoholism. This depiction touches upon themes such as anger, seven deadly sins, bitterness, and drunkenness - all powerful emotions that resonate with viewers even today. Through this lithograph illustration from the late 19th century, we are reminded of the hardships faced by impoverished families during that era. It serves as a reminder to appreciate our own privileges while also shedding light on societal issues that still persist today. This piece invites us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of child welfare while acknowledging there is still work to be done for those less fortunate.
