EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment in history, as it depicts poor London women being invited to the Half Million Banquet commemorating the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. The image showcases the stark contrast between social classes during this time period. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally featured in Black & White Budget on May 3rd, 1902. It serves as a powerful reminder of the hardships faced by working-class women living in poverty-stricken areas of London at that time. The Half Million Banquet itself was an extraordinary event held to celebrate King Edward VII's ascension to the throne. This grand occasion aimed to bring together people from all walks of life, including those who were less fortunate. It symbolized unity and inclusivity amidst a society marked by inequality. The artist skillfully portrays the resilience and dignity of these women despite their challenging circumstances. Their presence at such an esteemed gathering highlights their importance within society and emphasizes their right to partake in joyous celebrations alongside their wealthier counterparts. This lithograph not only provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century England but also prompts reflection on issues surrounding poverty, hardship, and social disparity that persist even today.
