EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Gustave Dore transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London, where a struggling family is depicted peddling goods in order to make ends meet. The untitled work showcases the harsh reality faced by many impoverished families during this era. Dore's illustration, featured in the 1873 English edition of "London: A Pilgrimage" written by Blanchard Jerrold, captures the essence of poverty and precariousness that plagued London at the time. With meticulous detail, Dore portrays a street scene filled with people from all walks of life. In this particular image, we witness a family unit working together as they attempt to sell their wares. The engraving highlights their determination and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. The dimly lit street is illuminated only by flickering lamps, casting an atmospheric glow on the scene. Through his artistry, Dore not only documents historical realities but also sheds light on societal issues such as poverty and inequality. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of how far society has come while urging us to reflect on those who continue to face similar struggles today. Ken Welsh's expert photography skillfully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork, allowing viewers to appreciate its depth and emotion. As we gaze upon this poignant image, we are transported back in time and reminded of our shared humanity across centuries.
