EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Miserables, from London, A Pilgrimage" takes us back to the year 1872 and immerses us in the heart-wrenching reality of Victorian-era poverty. The engraving, created by Gustave Dore and later engraved by A. Levasseur, captures a street scene filled with waifs, strays, and the destitute. As we gaze upon this powerful image, our eyes are drawn to a diverse group of individuals - men, women, children - all united in their struggle against homelessness and despair. The sickly figures huddled together on the streets reflect the harsh conditions they face daily. Elderly faces etched with lines of hardship mingle with crippled bodies and disabled limbs. In this poignant depiction of life's hardships during that era, we witness queues forming outside workhouses as people wait for assistance or perhaps just a glimmer of hope. It serves as a stark reminder that poverty knows no boundaries; it affects every age group and gender. The artist William Blanchard Jerrold masterfully brings attention to these forgotten souls through his lens. Through his workmanship alongside Dore's original vision, he compels viewers to confront society's failings when it comes to caring for its most vulnerable members. This photograph print is not merely an artistic creation but also an important historical document shedding light on societal issues that persist even today. It reminds us of our collective responsibility towards those who suffer silently on the fringes
