EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene from Maxim Gorky's play, The Lower Depths, which was first performed in 1902. Taken by an anonymous Russian photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph depicts a doss house, showcasing the destitution and poverty that were prevalent during that time period. It serves as an illustration for a calendar titled "Thirty Years of the Soviet State 1917-1947" published by the State Publishing House in Moscow in 1947. In this scene, we see actors portraying characters living in dire circumstances within cramped quarters. The costumes and set design provide an authentic representation of early twentieth-century Russia. This image offers us a glimpse into the lives of those struggling to survive amidst social inequality. The actors' expressions convey their hardships and precariousness with remarkable authenticity. Their performances capture both the physical and emotional tolls of poverty on individuals and communities. This photograph not only highlights the talent of these actors but also serves as a historical document depicting life during that era. It reminds us of how far society has come since then while acknowledging the ongoing struggle against poverty worldwide. Overall, this image invites viewers to reflect on our shared history while recognizing the importance of empathy towards those facing adversity today.
