Flotsam and Jetsam of London on Shepherds Bush Green - A Glimpse into the Tragedy of Lower London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Cyrus Cuneo, titled "Flotsam and jetsam of London on Shepherds Bush Green" offers a haunting portrayal of the hidden lives that unfold in the dark hour before dawn. Set against a backdrop of towering trees, this scene captures the harsh reality faced by those living in poverty within Hammersmith. In this poignant image, we witness a human tragedy that plays out every night on Shepherds Bush Green. The homeless find solace beneath the rough branches, their tattered clothing barely protecting them from the elements. They sleep amidst uncertainty and despair, caught in a cycle of precariousness and penury. Cuneo's attention to detail brings forth not only the fashion choices but also highlights how these individuals are left with nothing but what they can scavenge or gather as flotsam and jetsam. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there exists an underbelly plagued by homelessness. Through his artistry, Cuneo sheds light on this often overlooked aspect of society - capturing both its heart-wrenching tragedy and resilience. As viewers gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, they are transported to an era where survival was uncertain for many who called London home. Let us reflect upon this powerful image as it invites us to confront our own
