🔸 A group of breaker boys at the Woodward Coal Mines in Kingston, Pennsylvania, pose for a photograph taken in c. 1900. A breaker boy was a coal-mining worker whose job was to separate impurities from coal by hand in a coal breaker. Breaker boys were primarily children, and the practice of employing children for this job did not end until the early 1920s.

🔸 This photograph shows a young Mother, exhausted from spending hours making matchboxes, a pile of which can be seen on the table. At her feet is a young, sleeping baby covered by a blanket. Picture taken In Whitechapel, London circa 1890. For such homeworkers engaged in the sweated industries there was no division between work and home life. Match-box making was amongst the lowest paid work. The industry primarily employed women and children who could expect to work an average of 16 hours per day. For every 144 boxes made they received 2 pennies. This photograph appears in an album with a number of other prints depicting sweated labourers and London's poor. Such albums were often compiled by charities to raise funds and inform the public about the plight of those living and working in London's poorest areas, such as the East End. #victorianchaps #oldphoto #retro #victorian #vintage #dickensian #goodolddays #badoldtimes #poverty #london🇬🇧 #pastlives #history #matchbox #1890s (at Whitechapel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDN_jYDcFx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔸 c1900, photographer Horace Warner captured over two hundred startling images of children living in a rundown slum area of East London. He named these children the ‘Spitalfields Nippers’. In 1913 the Bedford Institute paid two pounds, 15 shillings and sixpence for roughly 20 photographs he had taken of the local children. It used them in its fundraising activities, reproducing them on handbills and collection boxes. He was a superindant for the charitable Bedford Institute (nine Quaker missions operating in the East End of London at the end of the 19th cent) rand was appalled by the poverty in much of the East End of London. His Quaker faith and own compassion led him to document the people he met and show them as real human beings. The pictures are posed but the genuine faces shine through. They are children surviving in conditions hard for us to imagine now (though not in other parts of the world); adolescents often already working in a harsh world with no safety net. Many have no shoes and clothes handed down or bought at the thrift shops of the time or the many markets in London. Though Governments seemed lamentably slow to act, many individuals, authors (notably of course Dickens) and artists depicted the life of the poor, often particularly the children. The paintings were often toned down to sell but the rich in London often lived close to areas where they would have seen such children every day….here’s a 2nd set of photos Credit: Horace Warner/Charles Booth #victorianchaps #retro #victorian #dickensian #goodolddays #badoldtimes #poverty #london #vintqge #pastlives #history #1900s #streetlife #nostalgia (at Spitalfields London) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7NaD6jAjx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
