Scrub-Night - A Humorous Glimpse into Victorian London's Working Class
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "Scrub-Night" captures the essence of a bygone era in nineteenth-century London. Created by Edith Farmiloe, this colourful print offers a delightful illustration for the book "Rag, Tag, and Bobtail" accompanied by verses penned by Winifred Parnell. The scene unfolds in an East End attic bedroom where a group of lively children are preparing for their weekly ritual known as Scrub-Night. This endearing tradition involved bathing young ones from lower working-class families to ensure cleanliness amidst challenging living conditions. Amidst piles of metal toys and washing paraphernalia lies a mischievous baby boy ready to take his turn in the makeshift bathtub. The room is filled with laughter as boys and girls eagerly await their chance at scrubbing away dirt and grime under the watchful eyes of older siblings. Farmiloe's artwork not only entertains but also sheds light on social realities faced by these urchins residing in slums. It humorously portrays how even amid adversity, joy can be found through simple activities like communal bathing. This lithograph serves as a historical testament to the resilience and spirit of working-class families during Victorian times. Its vivid colors bring life to this charming snapshot of childhood innocence amidst challenging circumstances – reminding us that laughter knows no boundaries when it comes to children's playfulness.
