Sir Arthur Pearson on St. Dunstans Day, Trafalgar Square

Sir Arthur Pearson (1866-1921), English newspaper and magazine publisher, seen at his wifes stall in Trafalgar Square on St. Dunstans Day. Sir Arthur founded St. Dunstans hostel for blinded soldiers and sailors during the First World War to aid rehabilitation of men who had lost their sight during the conflict. Blind himself, he never considered blindness an affliction. Instead, he thought of it as a handicap which through patience and perserverance could be surmounted. It was a maxim that was embodied in the spirit of St. Dunstans and led to Pearson being lauded, the blind leader of the blind. Date: 1919

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Sir Arthur Pearson (1866-1921), a pioneering English newspaper and magazine publisher, at his wife's stall in Trafalgar Square on St. Dunstan's Day in 1919. Sir Arthur, who was blind himself, is best known for founding St. Dunstan's Hostel for blinded soldiers and sailors during the First World War. This charitable organization played a crucial role in the rehabilitation of men who had lost their sight during the conflict. Sir Arthur's unwavering belief that blindness was not an affliction but a handicap that could be surmounted through patience and perseverance was a maxim that resonated deeply with the spirit of St. Dunstan's. His inspiring leadership earned him the moniker, 'the blind leader of the blind.' The photograph shows Sir Arthur, dressed in a suit and hat, intently engaging with a crowd of people around his wife's stall. Posters advertising St. Dunstan's Hostel can be seen in the background, while servicemen and civilians look on with interest. The atmosphere is one of community, hope, and determination. St. Dunstan's Day, also known as All Saints' Day for the Dead, was a time for remembering and honoring those who had lost their lives in the war. Sir Arthur's presence at the event underscores the importance of supporting those who had survived but were still struggling with the aftermath of the conflict. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and fortitude of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. Sir Arthur Pearson's legacy continues to inspire us today, as we strive to help those in need and overcome challenges that seem insurmountable.
