EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century chromolithograph captures the tender moment of a labourer and his wife making their way home from work, cradling their young 'bairn' or baby in between them. The image, titled 'Our Bairn,' offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of working-class families during this era. The labourer, dressed in his work clothes and carrying a large basket, appears weary but proud as he supports his wife, who holds their baby in a protective embrace. The couple's shared gaze and the gentle touch of their hands on their child convey the deep bond between them. The domestic scene is further emphasized by the presence of a jug, suggesting they have collected water for their household needs. The muted colors and intricate details of the print, produced by the chromolithography process, add depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating and enduring representation of the love and resilience of a Victorian-era family. The image of 'Our Bairn' offers a poignant reminder of the struggles and joys of working-class families during the 19th century. It invites us to reflect on the strength and determination of the labourer and his wife, who, despite the challenges of their daily lives, cherished the moments they spent together as a family.
