EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz, transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The scene depicts Baby "Phil" in the Workhouse, a poignant moment captured from Augustus Mayhew's novel Paved with Gold.
The intricate details in this print bring to life the harsh realities faced by many residents of London during this era. From the cobblestone streets to the period clothing worn by passersby, every element tells a story of struggle and survival.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength of those who called London home in the 1800s. The engraving serves as a powerful historical document, shedding light on social issues that were prevalent at the time.
Through Phiz's skilled handiwork, we are transported into a world filled with both romance and reality. The contrast between love and hardship is palpable in every stroke of his engraving.
This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into a bygone era that continues to captivate audiences today. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and the struggles faced by those who came before us in one of Europe's most iconic cities.
