EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Samuel John Carter showcases the Home for Lost and Starving Dogs in Hollingsworth-Street, Islington. The image transports us back to 1868, as we catch a glimpse of this remarkable establishment through the artist's skilled hand. The scene depicts a bustling street corner where stray dogs find solace and care within the walls of this sanctuary. With its humble exterior, the home stands as a beacon of hope for these lost and starving creatures. The intricate details in Carter's work allow us to appreciate the architectural beauty of the building, while also conveying a sense of compassion towards these vulnerable animals. As we peer into the engraving, our hearts are touched by the dedication shown by those who run this shelter. It is evident that every effort has been made to provide comfort and support to these abandoned dogs. This poignant image serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there are individuals committed to making a difference in their community. Carter's illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on August 22nd, 1868. Today it remains an important historical document capturing both societal attitudes towards animal welfare during that era and serving as an inspiration for future generations working towards creating safe havens for animals in need. Through this print, we are reminded of our shared responsibility to protect those who cannot speak for themselves – whether they be lost or starving dogs or any other living being deserving love and care.
