Slumdogs
« on: July 29, 2011, 04:10:14 PM »
Wanted to share with you these amazing photographs. 

They were taken by a man called
HORACE WARNER
in 1912 of London's East End children.







I can't believe they are nearly all bare foot!
Next time your kids whine if you don't buy them the latest trainers or video game, 
just show them these pics from nearly hundred years ago.

Maybe we are not so poor.

On first glance, they strike as interesting photos but on closer inspection, so very contrived. The poses clearly posed with props obvously propped, with several in front of the same two windows. A bright new basket to hold the kindling next to a dress which looks to have been lining a coal bin. These things make one question how genuine the dirt, tattered clothing, and frowny faces really are.

Oh, there's much more. Smart haircuts for the boys, but a shortage of brushes for the girls. A new looking hot water pot, while two are seen washing and maintaining dirty hands. Shoes without laces. The one stirring the pot holds the lid with bare hand. Every one looks fake in some way. Would be interested to see more of them to see if there's repeated usage of props or clothing.

The clean clothing may give it off the best, but your observations are flawed. The point about the boys haircuts vs.  the females unkempt hair is flaw number one and an huge one in your claim.  American history during the depression easily disproves your claim about that matter. Your claim about the basket "looking new"  and not torn up during the depression simply proves ignorance.

Jack is incorrect on the matter, but observant.

The ones taken in front of the same window could easily just
be of siblings.  My Grandad was one of fourteen kids!
