| Summary | "Phil May's Gutter-Snipes: 50 Original Sketches in Pen & Ink" by Phil May is a collection of humorous illustrations created during the late 19th century. The book showcases the artistic depiction of children from the lower strata of society, often referred to as "gutter-snipes," highlighting their playful and mischievous spirit in the bustling environment of city life. This unique art collection captures the essence of these children’s lives through sketches that speak to their experiences. The sketches within the book encompass a variety of themes centered around childhood activities, portraying scenes of play and innocence while simultaneously reflecting the social realities of the time. Each illustration, from "Playing at Soldiers" to "Hide & Seek," invites viewers into a whimsical world where the children navigate their existence amid poverty and urban challenges. Phil May's work not only entertains but also offers a poignant commentary on class disparities, encapsulating the juxtaposition of youthful exuberance against a backdrop of hardship.
