Suffragettes and poverty in 1914 London ...

All I can say is, I'm glad I was born when I was which wasn't then.
Of course the photographs depict only the poverty, which bad as it
was, was a distinct improvement from Dickens' time.

That's some photography.

Absolutely fantastic remnants of the past regardless of the cause behind it. The clothing, the furniture, the buildings.....
In our day of digitized & unprinted pics I fear most of our days may be all but lost to history. Finding a box of prints vs. finding an old nondescript chip centuries from now. The equipment we used to read floppy disks has already been disposed of.

Read "Angela's Ashes" -- it's about Frank McCourt's childhood in the Liberties in Dublin in the 1930s -- the Liberties was the poorest slum in Europe.
