EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, titled "Poor boys making shoes at work school" transports us back to the 19th century. The image showcases a group of young boys diligently engaged in their laborious task of shoemaking. With focused expressions on their faces, these children are captured in the midst of their daily routine at a work school. The scene highlights the harsh reality faced by many underprivileged children during this era. Forced into manual labor from an early age, these boys were deprived of a proper education and childhood. This poignant depiction sheds light on the exploitation prevalent within Victorian society, where child workers were subjected to long hours and meager wages. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this wood engraving. From the worn-out clothes adorning each boy to the intricate tools they hold, it immerses us in their world of manufacturing and hard work. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, we are reminded of how far our society has come in terms of child welfare and education rights. It serves as a powerful reminder that every child deserves access to quality education and protection from exploitative practices. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection held by Peter Newark Pictures and made available through Bridgeman Images for art enthusiasts seeking historical insights into societal issues that plagued past generations.
