EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph by Charles Ricketts takes us back to the late 19th century in Limehouse, London. The image depicts a group of poor children diligently gleaning pieces of coal from the banks of the Thames River. With their small hands and determined expressions, these young girls embody both resilience and hardship. Published in Black & White magazine in April 1892, this illustration sheds light on the stark reality faced by many impoverished families during Victorian times. Coal was a valuable resource for heating and cooking, making it a precious commodity for those struggling to make ends meet. The setting of Limehouse, located in London's East End, adds another layer to this poignant scene. Known as "Eastenders" this area was notorious for its poverty-stricken neighborhoods and working-class population. Ricketts' lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by these children growing up amidst such adversity. Their determination to collect even the smallest fragments of coal reflects their resourcefulness and resilience in an unforgiving world. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured over a century ago, let us not forget that there are still countless children around the world facing similar hardships today. This image stands as a testament to their strength and reminds us all of our responsibility to create a more equitable future for every child.
