EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Farthing Dinner Please, the Soup Kitchen," transports us back to the year 1907 and gives us a glimpse into the lives of those less fortunate during the Edwardian era. The image captures a group of children eagerly waiting in line at a soup kitchen, their faces filled with hope and hunger.
The scene is bustling with activity as boys and girls gather around the window, clutching their farthings - small coins that were once used for payment. The chatterbox of voices fills the air as they anxiously await their turn to receive a warm meal.
The young girl in the foreground stands out with her pensive expression, perhaps pondering where her next meal will come from. It's a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by many families during this time period.
Terry Parker's skillful composition brings this historical moment to life, allowing us to reflect on our own privileges and blessings. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and generosity towards those in need.
"A Farthing Dinner Please" serves as both a visual record of history and an emotional call to action, urging us to remember those who are hungry and marginalized in our society. Let it inspire us to make a difference in our communities today.
