EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1870 with this engraving showing the interior of one of the rooms at The Strangers Home in Limehouse, London. This historical image offers a glimpse into a unique establishment that provided accommodation for foreign sailors and servants arriving at the bustling London Docks.
The Strangers Home catered to Asiatics, Africans, and South Sea Islanders who arrived by the thousands each year, seeking shelter and respite from their long journeys. The home was an important import during a time when international travel was on the rise and London was a hub of activity.
In this engraving, we see a snapshot of daily life within the walls of The Strangers Home - perhaps a sailor unpacking his belongings or a servant preparing for rest after a long day's work. The details captured in this print transport us back to a bygone era, offering insight into the challenges faced by those far from home.
As we admire this piece of history preserved through art, we are reminded of the importance of hospitality and compassion towards strangers in our midst. Let this engraving serve as a reminder of our shared humanity across borders and cultures.
