EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Poor Poverty Poverty Stricken Family Man Woman" takes us back to the streets of 19th century London, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by working-class families. Inspired by an illustration from Gustave Dore in the renowned book "London: A Pilgrimage" written by Blanchard Jerrold, this untitled work captures the struggles and resilience of a poverty-stricken family. In this poignant image, we witness a man and woman accompanied by their children as they sell goods on the bustling streets. These street sellers, known as costermongers or peddlers, were part of a vibrant yet marginalized community trying to make ends meet amidst dire circumstances. The artistic prowess of Gustave Dore shines through in his intricate engraving, bringing life to every detail within this historical scene. The artist's collaboration with journalist Blanchard Jerrold creates an immersive experience that transports us back to Victorian London. As we admire this vintage piece of art, it serves as a powerful reminder of the hardships endured during that era. It also prompts reflection on how far society has come in addressing issues related to poverty and inequality. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty captured within this archival piece. Whether displayed as wall art or used for decorative purposes, it is sure to spark conversations about history and social progress.
