EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Sweet Lavender" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when child labor and exploitation were prevalent. This color lithograph, created by an English School artist, beautifully captures the innocence of a young girl amidst a vibrant floral backdrop. The image is believed to have been originally published as an illustration for Bubbles, edited by Dr. Barnardo in 1903. It serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by children during this era. In the picture, we see the young girl diligently engaged in her work as she sells lavender flowers from her wicker basket. The delicate blooms symbolize hope and purity against a backdrop of wildflowers and fresh flowerbeds. This artwork not only highlights the beauty of nature but also sheds light on social issues such as child labor and street trade that were prevalent at that time. The presence of baskets suggests that these children often worked long hours carrying heavy loads to earn meager wages. Through this evocative print, we are transported into history where we witness both the resilience and vulnerability of children who had no choice but to enter into employment at such tender ages. "Sweet Lavender" stands as a testament to art's ability to document societal issues while simultaneously capturing moments of grace and beauty within them.
