EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print captures a scene from the 1930s that speaks volumes about the harsh realities faced by many during this era. The image showcases a dilapidated bridge spanning over polluted waters, serving as a somber gateway to a community plagued by poverty and suffering. The architectural features of the bridge are starkly contrasted against the unlovely homes perched on stilts above the foul waters below. These slum housing structures stand as symbols of destitution, their balconies overlooking an environment marred by despair. Amidst this desolation, small boats known as sampans float silently in these contaminated waters, representing both transportation and escape for those living in this impoverished neighborhood. The monochrome tones further emphasize the bleakness of their existence. This photograph is part of "Our Wonderful World". Volume III, edited by J. A.

Published by The Amalgamated Press Ltd. , London, it serves as a historical document capturing not only architectural elements but also societal issues prevalent in early 20th-century urban landscapes. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the resilience displayed by those who endured such challenging circumstances. It stands as a testament to our collective responsibility to address social inequalities and strive for better living conditions for all members of
