The Crawlers - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of 19th Century London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Crawlers" and captured by John Thomson in 1877, offers a poignant portrayal of poverty-stricken life on the streets of Victorian London. The image is part of Thomson's renowned album "Street Life in London" which documented the hardships faced by the destitute. In this particular scene, we witness a mother and her two young children huddled together on a doorstep. Their worn-out clothing and gaunt expressions speak volumes about their struggle for survival. The woman's face reflects both exhaustion and determination as she navigates the challenges of motherhood amidst dire circumstances. Thomson's woodburytype technique adds depth to this historic photograph, enhancing its emotional impact. Through his lens, he captures not only an individual family but also sheds light on broader societal issues such as homelessness and poverty that plagued 19th century Britain. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork at the Art Institute Chicago, we are reminded of our shared humanity across time. It serves as a powerful reminder that despite progress made since then, there are still individuals facing similar hardships today. "The Crawlers" stands as a testament to John Thomson's dedication to documenting social realities through photography. It invites us to reflect on our responsibility towards those less fortunate while appreciating art's ability to preserve history with compassion and empathy.
