EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a significant moment in the fight for improved sanitation and public health in 19th century London. The Metropolitan Sanitary Association Dinner, held at Soyers Sy in 1851, marked the first public festival organized by the association to address the rampant spread of diseases such as cholera and typhoid due to poor sanitation practices. During this time, thousands of lives were lost to preventable illnesses caused by unsanitary living conditions in the capital city. In response, reforming societies like the Metropolitan Sanitary Association were established to promote cleanliness and welfare initiatives. Renowned author Charles Dickens was a vocal advocate for better sanitation practices and is noted for proposing a toast to The Board of Health at this particular banquet. His support added an influential voice to the movement towards improved public health standards. This print serves as an important reminder of the importance of maintaining proper hygiene and sanitation measures for overall community well-being. It stands as a testament to the efforts made by early reformers in London to combat deadly diseases through collective action and advocacy for better living conditions.
