EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Expulsion of the Poor from the Slums" captures a poignant moment in history, revealing the harsh realities faced by impoverished families in 19th-century slums. Created by Oswaldo Tofani in 1895, this coloured engraving showcases a scene of eviction and destruction. In this image, we witness a destitute family pleading for mercy as their humble abode is being torn down. A child lies on a sickbed nearby, symbolizing the vulnerability and suffering experienced by those living in poverty. The working-class individuals depicted here are squatters who have built makeshift homes within these slum areas known as "zones". The artist's attention to detail highlights not only the physical destruction but also the emotional turmoil endured by these marginalized communities. Their expressions of desperation and helplessness tug at our hearts, reminding us of society's responsibility towards its most vulnerable members. "The Expulsion of the Poor from the Slums" serves as both a historical record and a call to action against social inequality. It sheds light on an era when many were forced to endure unimaginable hardships due to systemic neglect and urban decay. As we reflect upon this powerful image, let it serve as a reminder that poverty should never be ignored or dismissed. Instead, may it inspire us to work towards creating inclusive societies where every individual has access to basic necessities and opportunities for growth.
