EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving titled ""Appy dossers"" captures the harsh reality of poverty and homelessness in 19th century England. The image depicts a group of unfortunate individuals, including women and children, seeking shelter in the passages and cellars of unguarded boarding houses at night. Their desperate living conditions are illuminated by a lantern held by one of the figures, revealing their despair and misery. Created by Frederick L. Bernard as an illustration for George R Sims' book "How The Poor Live" this artwork serves as a haunting reminder of the hardships faced by those on society's fringes during that era. The artist skillfully portrays the horror and appalling circumstances endured by these dossers, highlighting both their physical suffering and emotional turmoil. The engraving not only exposes the dire state of homelessness but also sheds light on social issues prevalent in Victorian Britain. It reflects upon the lack of support systems for those who found themselves without shelter or means to survive. Through this evocative image, we are transported back to a time when poverty was rampant, particularly among women and children. It serves as a poignant commentary on societal neglect towards its most vulnerable members. By showcasing this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded that despite progress made over time, there is still much work to be done to address homelessness and alleviate human suffering worldwide.
