EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Poor girl selling watercress on a snowy street" transports us to the bustling streets of the 19th century. The image, created by artist William Dickes, captures the harsh realities of life for a young child in poverty. In this scene, we see a determined girl braving the cold winter weather as she tries to make ends meet. Clutching her basket filled with fresh watercress, she navigates through the snow-covered city streets. Her resilience shines through as she faces adversity head-on. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring an element of hope and liveliness to an otherwise bleak setting. The contrast between the bright hues and the white snow emphasizes both her struggle and her determination. This artwork not only showcases a slice of historical life but also serves as a reminder of societal issues that persist today. It prompts us to reflect on themes such as poverty, labor exploitation, and social inequality. As we gaze upon this poignant image from Bridgeman Images' Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, let us be reminded of our shared responsibility to create a more just world where no child has to endure such hardships.
