Images of 19th-Century Evictions
With bans on evictions expiring in many states, the sad truth is that a great many renters will be forced out of their lodgings. Let's see how artists portrayed evictions in centuries past. |
| Blandford Fletcher, "Evicted" (1887) |
William Teulon Blandford Fletcher (British, 1858-1936) focuses on the powerlessness of the widowed mother. The child clutches an umbrella, as rain will surely come, and she drags a toy horse that has fallen on its side. Villagers look on sympathetically.
Erik Henningsen (Danish, 1855-1930) painted “Foreclosure” in 1892. The father is powerless to negotiate with the constable who reads from the law book. The plight of the family is heightened by the snowy weather.
There are many photographs of Irish evictions, as many families were forcibly removed from their farms in the decades after the Famine. this one is in County Kerry. Read stories (and see photos) of the Irish resistance and the practices British landlords at this blog post.
In 1844, Adolph Menzel documented a pile of household contents from someone moving out of a cellar. Chairs are stacked at right and a woman sits on the pile at left. I'm not sure if they were evicted or just moving, but the stuff seems piled hastily.
