EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and poignant colour lithograph from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the harsh reality faced by many children during this festive season. Created as an illustration for Bubbles edited by Dr Barnardo in 1900, it offers a glimpse into the lives of impoverished youngsters. The scene depicts a group of little children huddled together in the depths of winter. Their faces reflect hunger and longing as they endure the bitter cold near coal pits. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph contrast starkly with their destitute surroundings, emphasizing their vulnerability amidst societal inequalities. This artwork serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by those less fortunate during Christmas time. It evokes empathy and compassion towards these young souls who are deprived not only of material possessions but also basic necessities like warmth and sustenance. The artist's skillful use of lithography brings to life the struggles endured by these children, while also shedding light on broader issues such as poverty and social class divisions prevalent at that time. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are compelled to reflect upon our own privilege and consider ways to alleviate suffering within our communities. In essence, "How Some Children Spend Christmas" captures both the spirit of resilience exhibited by these young individuals and society's responsibility to address systemic inequities that persist even today.
