EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of pure joy and innocence in the heart of a 19th century London slum. The image, titled "Girls - Street Organ," depicts a group of young girls dancing exuberantly in a courtyard, their laughter and clapping in perfect harmony with the music of a barrel organ played by a man in the background. Dressed in tattered clothing and barefoot, these children, despite their humble circumstances, are lost in the moment, their faces radiant with happiness. The photograph, taken in 1870, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of urban children during this period, a time when poverty and hardship were a daily reality for many. The barrel organ, a common sight on the streets of London, provided a brief respite from the harsh realities of life, offering moments of entertainment and delight. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and spirit of children, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
