EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled "DORE: LONDON: 1873. Asleep Under the Stars" captures a heart-wrenching scene of homelessness in Victorian London. The image showcases a group of destitute individuals, men, women, and children alike, finding solace on the cold city streets as they sleep under the starry night sky. The wood engraving after Gustave Dore from "London: A Pilgrimage" depicts the harsh reality faced by these forgotten souls during this late 19th-century era. Their tired bodies lay scattered across the pavement, seeking refuge from their daily struggles and hardships. Through this haunting image, we are confronted with the stark contrast between wealth and poverty that defined Victorian society. It serves as a poignant reminder of how some were left to endure unimaginable suffering while others thrived in opulence. Although it is difficult to witness such despair captured within one frame, it also reminds us of our collective responsibility towards those less fortunate. This photograph invites us to reflect upon issues surrounding homelessness that persist even today. As we gaze upon this historic piece of artistry by Gustave Dore, let us not forget that behind each face lies a story untold – stories filled with resilience, hopelessness, and dreams yet unfulfilled. May it ignite compassion within our hearts and inspire action towards creating a more inclusive world for all.
