EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the famous Adelphi Terrace and the Adelphi Arches, showcasing a piece of history that has long been lost. The grandeur of the terrace, built by the renowned Adam brothers, is evident in its elegant architecture and intricate details. However, it is juxtaposed with the destitution depicted beneath in the form of homeless waifs gathering under the arches. The image serves as a poignant reminder of societal disparities during this era, highlighting themes of poverty and homelessness. It offers a glimpse into a time when precariousness was an unfortunate reality for many individuals struggling to survive. Originally published as an illustration for Everybodys Enquire Within in 1937, this print provides valuable insight into both historical and social contexts. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its significance as a visual representation of past times. Through this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, viewers are transported back to an era where architectural marvels coexisted alongside human suffering. It prompts contemplation on how society has evolved since then while also serving as a reminder that there is still work to be done in addressing issues such as homelessness and poverty today.
