EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ways and Means, 1888" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of a young man striving to make ends meet on a modest salary. The image depicts a gentleman passionately explaining his unique method of balancing his books, showcasing his determination and resourcefulness. In this monochrome snapshot captured by Charles Samuel Keene for Punch, or the London Charivari in July 1888, we witness the struggles faced by individuals during that era. With only an annual income of £300 at his disposal, this young man's ability to manage his finances becomes paramount. The photograph encapsulates not just one man's story but also represents the challenges encountered by many people in similar circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how employment and wages were perceived during that time period. Preserved through Heritage Image Partnership's collection, this print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this image today, it evokes curiosity about our own financial practices while fostering admiration for those who navigated such constraints with ingenuity
