EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph print titled "DORE: LONDON, 1872. The Fly-Paper Merchant" we are transported back to the late Victorian era in London. The image showcases a bustling alleyway filled with poverty-stricken children and ragged individuals going about their daily lives. The wood engraving, created after Gustave Dore's original artwork from his renowned book "London: A Pilgrimage" beautifully captures the essence of street life during that time period. The dimly lit scene is illuminated by a solitary flashlight held by a man, who appears to be the fly-paper merchant himself. As we delve deeper into the photo, our attention is drawn to the watchful eyes of a police officer stationed nearby. His presence serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those living in slums and struggling with poverty. This evocative image not only transports us back in time but also sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of history - the struggles faced by everyday people trying to survive in challenging circumstances. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come since then while also prompting us to reflect on how much further we still have to go in ensuring equality for all.
