EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1849, capturing the City of London Union Workhouse in Bow Road, Poplar. The image showcases a remarkable piece of architecture from the 19th century, standing tall and proud amidst an avenue in East End, London. The anonymous photographer skillfully captures the essence of this historic building with vibrant colors that bring it to life. The workhouse served as a refuge for those facing poverty and hardship during Victorian times. Its exterior exudes both grandeur and austerity simultaneously, reflecting the contrasting realities faced by its inhabitants. Located within Tower Hamlets, this iconic structure stands as a testament to England's history and social welfare system. As we gaze upon this watercolor-like photograph, we can't help but imagine the lives of people who once walked these streets outside the workhouse walls. It serves as a reminder of their struggles and resilience in an era marked by economic disparity. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this image allows us to travel back in time and witness a significant chapter in British history. Let us appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also acknowledge its historical significance as a symbol of compassion towards those less fortunate.
