EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Children of the Poor (Les Enfants Pauvres) - The Ragged Babes That Weep, c1875" transports us to a heartbreaking scene of poverty and despair. In this powerful illustration by T Cobb for Algernon C Swinburne's translation of Victor Hugo's poem, we witness the plight of miserable, ragged, and undernourished children. Set against the backdrop of a dimly lit street in 19th century France, these young boys embody the harsh realities faced by impoverished youth during that era. Their tattered clothing and malnourished bodies speak volumes about their daily struggle for survival. With haunting expressions on their faces, they evoke a sense of desperation and hunger that is difficult to ignore. Through this colorised print, we are reminded of the enduring power of literature as it sheds light on social issues such as poverty. Victor Hugo's poignant poem comes alive through T Cobb's wood engraving technique, capturing both the physical hardships endured by these children and their emotional turmoil. As viewers, we are transported back in time to witness an era where hardship was rampant among Britain's poor population. This image serves as a reminder that despite progress made over centuries since then, there are still many who suffer from similar circumstances today. It compels us to reflect upon our society's responsibility towards those less fortunate while appreciating art’s ability to shed light on important societal issues throughout history. (Note:
