EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Slum Saviours of the Salvation Army: Dedicated Sisters Living Among London's Poorest in the Late 1880s. This evocative collection of three images from the late 1880s depicts members of the Salvation Army, known as "slum saviours," as they dedicated themselves to the lives of London's poorest residents. These compassionate individuals, primarily women, chose to live amongst the destitute, aiming to save drunkards and fallen women, and share the message of Christianity. The first image shows a Salvation Army sister, dressed in her distinctive uniform, engaged in a heartfelt conversation with a woman on the streets. Her expression of empathy and understanding conveys the deep connection she has forged with her community. The second photograph captures a group of Salvation Army sisters gathered around a table, studying and preparing for their daily service. Their focused determination and commitment to their mission are palpable, as they dedicate themselves to making a difference in the lives of those around them. The third image depicts a lively Salvation Army social scene, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to enjoy a moment of respite from their daily struggles. The Salvation Army sisters, dressed in their uniforms, can be seen mingling amongst the crowd, spreading hope and positivity. These powerful images offer a glimpse into the lives of the Salvation Army sisters during the late 1880s, a time when their presence was crucial in providing support and guidance to the most vulnerable members of London society. Their selfless dedication to helping the poor, drunkards, and fallen women, and their unwavering commitment to spreading the teachings of Christianity, made them true saviours in the hearts and minds of those they served.
