EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back to the infamous Folly Ditch, Jacobs Island in 1878. A creation of an unknown artist, this image transports us to a time when Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist roamed these very streets. The slum on the south bank of the River Thames in Bermondsey, London was brought to life by Dickens's vivid descriptions, and it is here that we find ourselves immersed. In this snapshot from history, we witness the dark and dirty underbelly of Victorian England. The buildings loom over Folly Ditch as if guarding its secrets while boats navigate through the murky waters of the river. It is within these very surroundings that Bill Sikes met his tragic end at the hands of pursuing police officers. The monochrome palette adds a sense of mystery and nostalgia to this scene captured by Edward Walford for his publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places". As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a city teeming with life yet plagued by poverty.
