Description

Selling Children in Russia: The Peasants' Extremities of Famine. Drawn by H. W koekkoek from a sketch by Rook Carnegie, our special correspondent.

Daughters for bread: a child-market in the Russian provinces. So severe is the pinch of famine in the Vologda district that the peasants are selling their children. The younger children are sold for household drudges; the fate of the elder is even less fortunate. Our Artist bases his sketch on first-hand information. To his certain knowledge these deplorable scenes are of every-day occurrence "Anything." the peasants say, "is better than hunger."
