EDITORS COMMENTS

The image captures a poignant moment in time, as three young boys from impoverished backgrounds quench their thirst at a leaking water tap. The scene is a reminder of the places where London water carts were filled, and the simple pleasure of accessing clean water. The boys, dressed in tattered clothing and barefoot, lean over the tap, their faces expressing a mixture of relief and concentration as they carefully collect each precious drop. Their focus is solely on satisfying their basic need, oblivious to the world around them. The image is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by children living in poverty during this era. The illustration, entitled "Thirsty Little Souls," is a poignant depiction of innocence and resilience in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the human spirit and the importance of access to clean water, even in the most difficult of circumstances. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the progress we have made in addressing the basic needs of all people. The illustration, created by an unknown artist, is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the living conditions of the past and the everyday struggles faced by children in impoverished communities. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of access to clean water and the impact it can have on the lives of individuals and communities.
