Mid-day Ablutions in the Stepney Causeway Home - A Glimpse into 19th Century Hygiene
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, captured by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into daily life at the Stepney Causeway Home. The image showcases a group of young boys engaging in their mid-day ablutions, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and hygiene during this era. The black and white illustration exudes a sense of simplicity and purity, highlighting the innocence of childhood. Each child is meticulously depicted as they diligently clean themselves under the watchful eye of their caregivers. This scene was originally featured in "Our Darlings, The Children's Treasury of Pictures and Stories" edited by T. J. Barnardo around 1887. The engraving not only serves as a historical record but also symbolizes societal values surrounding health and cleanliness during that time period. It reminds us how personal hygiene practices were instilled from an early age to promote well-being among children living within institutional settings like Stepney Causeway Home. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on our own notions of cleanliness and its impact on overall health. It invites us to appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging that certain principles remain timeless – such as teaching children good hygiene habits for their well-being. This print from Bridgeman Images captures both artistic beauty and historical significance through its portrayal of mid-day ablutions at Stepney Causeway Home
