EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print titled "Poor homeless boy at a waifs supper standing up to signal his wish to enter a Dr Barnardos childrens home" depicts a poignant moment in history. The image showcases a young boy, dressed in tattered clothes, bravely standing amidst a crowded room of fellow waifs. With determination shining in his eyes, he raises his hand as if signaling his desire to be admitted into the sanctuary of Dr Barnardos childrens home. This powerful illustration was featured in Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo and published by The Children's Bookroom in London around 1895. It serves as a reminder of the dire circumstances faced by many impoverished children during the 19th century. Through this artwork, we witness not only the hardships endured by these vulnerable youngsters but also their unwavering hope for better days. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of hunger and destitution prevalent among these forgotten souls. Their threadbare clothing and expressions of longing evoke empathy from viewers across time. This piece stands as an enduring testament to both the resilience of youth and the importance of philanthropy. In this era marked by social inequality and economic disparity, it is crucial that we remember our collective responsibility towards those less fortunate than ourselves. Let us draw inspiration from this evocative print and strive to make positive changes within our communities – ensuring that no child is left without shelter or sustenance.
