EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Shaftesbury; or, Lost and Found" transports us back to the mid-nineteenth century Victorian era. Created by William MacDuff, this print captures a significant historical moment in time. The image showcases Lord Shaftesbury's philanthropic efforts as he stands near a window shop surrounded by young boys known as shoeblacks. The scene exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, with Shaftesbury appearing both determined and compassionate. His presence symbolizes hope for these underprivileged children who have found solace in their work shining shoes on the bustling streets of Shaftesbury. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, capturing the intricate architecture of the buildings that line the street behind them. Every stroke brings life to this snapshot from history, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its rich atmosphere. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The British Workman magazine on May 1st, 1866. It serves as a reminder of Lord Shaftesbury's tireless dedication towards improving the lives of those less fortunate during a time when social inequality prevailed. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of our past but also of our duty to continue fighting for justice and equality today.
