EDITORS COMMENTS
DORÉ: LONDON, 1872. A Glimpse into the Heart of Whitechapel's Past. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1872, capturing a vivid street scene that reveals both the charm and harsh realities of Victorian daily life. The image showcases Wentworth Street, located in the infamous Whitechapel district, known for its poverty-stricken slums and crowded alleys. Wood engraved after Gustave Doré's original artwork, this print beautifully captures the essence of English history during this era. The attention to detail is remarkable as it depicts men going about their business while a young girl stands amidst them, symbolizing innocence amidst hardship. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era where social disparities were starkly evident. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come since then and highlights the resilience of those who endured such challenging circumstances. As we observe this historical snapshot from New York's Granger Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in London's pilgrimage towards progress. Let us appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind Gustave Doré's engraving but also reflect on how far our cities have evolved since these days.
