THACKERAY - SLUM, 1876. Scene in Glasgow from The Orphan of Pimlico and other Sketches by William Makepeace Thackeray, 1876
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Glasgow in 1876. Captured through the lens of renowned author William Makepeace Thackeray, it depicts a vivid scene from his literary work "The Orphan of Pimlico and other Sketches". In this snapshot of urban life, we witness a city teeming with activity. A young boy dressed in tattered clothes stands alongside a girl who appears equally destitute. Their faces tell tales of hardship and resilience amidst the harsh realities of poverty. As our gaze wanders further into the frame, we notice towering smokestacks belching thick plumes into the sky - symbols of industrialization that dominate the landscape. The hearse passing by serves as a somber reminder that even amid bustling industry, mortality looms large. Thackeray's keen eye for detail transports us to an era where ragamuffins like these street urchins were all too common. Through his sketches, he sheds light on societal issues often overlooked or ignored. This print is not just a visual masterpiece but also an important historical artifact that invites contemplation on themes such as class divide, urban decay, and human resilience against adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that literature has always been intertwined with social commentary –
