EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment of intense tension and anxiety in the east end of London, back in 1895. The image portrays a brave policeman valiantly fending off an angry crowd, highlighting the challenging reality of his profession. Aptly titled "Unhappy Lot" this artwork by H M Paget serves as a stark reminder that being a police officer is far from an easy or joyful task. The composition skillfully conveys the palpable hatred and fear emanating from both sides. The policeman stands resolute, his face etched with determination amidst the chaos surrounding him. Meanwhile, the furious mob looms menacingly behind him, their expressions filled with anger and frustration. In capturing this historical moment, Rischgitz has preserved not only a snapshot of England's past but also encapsulated universal themes that continue to resonate today: social unrest, class divide, and clashes between authority figures and marginalized communities. Displayed in classic black and white format, this print exudes authenticity while emphasizing the raw emotions captured within its frame. It serves as a poignant reminder of how art can immortalize significant moments in history while evoking empathy for those caught up in such turbulent times
