EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait captured by Joseph Cundall, we are transported back to the 25th of August in 1855. The photograph showcases the arched entrance of an alms house, adorned with lush creepers that gracefully climb its walls. As we delve deeper into the image, we notice a group of occupants sitting outside, their weathered faces telling stories of a lifetime. The architectural decoration surrounding them exudes a sense of grandeur and history, emphasizing the significance of this charitable establishment. The archway serves as both a physical gateway and metaphorical symbol for those seeking relief and support during challenging times. Amidst these stone walls lies an atmosphere filled with compassion and community spirit. The male and female figures seated together demonstrate unity among diverse individuals who have found solace within these humble abodes. Joseph Cundall's masterful composition captures not only the external beauty but also reveals glimpses into the lives lived within these walls. This evocative print transports us to another era where charity played a vital role in society's fabric. As we gaze upon this poignant scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is always hope for kindness to prevail.
