EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "London Street Arabs" transports us back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image captures a poignant moment in time, showcasing the harsh realities faced by impoverished children in the city. In this scene, a group of street arabs can be seen huddled together under a lamppost. Their tattered clothing and weary expressions tell tales of hardship and struggle. Despite their circumstances, there is an undeniable resilience shining through their young eyes. The artist, Dorothy Stanley (nee Tennant), skillfully depicts the stark contrast between these destitute children and their more privileged counterparts. The swing in the background serves as a reminder of the carefree childhood experiences that these street arabs are deprived of. Through her intricate engravings, Stanley sheds light on the social issues prevalent during her time. This print was originally created as an illustration for "London Street Arabs" a book published in 1890 that aimed to raise awareness about child poverty in urban areas. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of both the struggles endured by these forgotten children and our responsibility to create a more equitable society for all.
