EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by John Tenniel, titled "The New Workhouse Porter, 1866" we are transported back to the poverty-stricken streets of 19th century London. The image depicts a scene outside the workhouse where Master Prig, a notorious thief of his time, laments the presence of a vigilant policeman who now screens potential entrants. A mother and her young daughter stand before them, their tattered clothes and worn shawls serving as poignant symbols of their destitution. Despite their desperate circumstances, they have been deemed worthy of admission into the workhouse. However, Master Prig cunningly suggests to his sinister-looking companion that they should seek refuge elsewhere in Lambeth. Tenniel's masterful engraving skillfully captures the hardships faced by those trapped in poverty during this era. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to the scene while emphasizing the stark contrast between wealth and deprivation. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of societal inequalities that persist even today. It sheds light on issues such as crime, law enforcement, gender roles, and class divisions prevalent during that time period. Through its powerful imagery and intricate details, Tenniel's print invites us to reflect upon our own society's treatment of marginalized individuals while appreciating his artistic prowess in capturing an important moment in history.
