EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures the harsh reality of Victorian child labour in brickyards. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the exploitation and hardships faced by young children during this era. Intriguingly featured in The British Workman publication from 1870, this illustration sheds light on a dark chapter in history. It serves as a reminder of the working class's struggles and the industrialization that shaped Britain's landscape. The solemn faces of these little workers tell stories of lost childhoods and stolen innocence. With their small frames burdened by heavy loads of bricks, they symbolize resilience amidst adversity. Their presence highlights not only their own plight but also exposes societal indifference towards child welfare at that time. This print evokes contemplation about how far we have come in terms of labor laws and protections for children. It serves as a poignant visual representation of progress made since then to ensure every child has access to education and is shielded from exploitative work environments. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who suffered so greatly during this period while acknowledging our responsibility to create a better future for generations to come.
