EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled ""Go it, Sal!" (engraving)" by Frederick L. Bernard depicts a scene of intense street violence in 19th century England. The image showcases two women engaged in a fierce brawl while being watched and cheered on by a crowd of unruly onlookers. This engraving was created as an illustration for the book "How The Poor Live" by George R Sims, with illustrations by Frederick Barnard. The photo captures the appalling living conditions and poverty that plagued Victorian Britain. It highlights the harsh realities faced by the poor, who were forced to resort to physical altercations just to survive. The lamppost in the background serves as a grim reminder of how this violent clash is taking place under dimly lit streets. This powerful image portrays not only the physical conflict between these women but also symbolizes the larger societal conflicts and struggles faced during that time period. It reflects upon themes of human misery, social inequality, and desperation. Through this engraving, Bernard effectively conveys the chaotic atmosphere of London's streets at that time while shedding light on the deplorable conditions experienced by those living in poverty-stricken areas. It serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to address issues such as poverty and social injustice even today.
