EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches at the Gordon Memorial Boys Home, Fort Wallington, Portsmouth" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of military cadets. The engraving showcases various scenes within the boys' home, providing a comprehensive view of their education and training. The entrance gate stands tall and imposing, symbolizing discipline and structure. As we delve deeper into the image, we witness young boys in both full dress and fatigue duty uniforms engaged in different activities. From dinner time to work duties like washing or tailoring, these sketches depict a well-rounded educational experience for these children. The dormitory scene reveals rows of neatly arranged beds where camaraderie is fostered among the boys. In another corner lies a bustling school room filled with eager minds absorbing knowledge. Shoemakers diligently craft footwear while carpenters showcase their skills in their workshop. Amidst all this industry and learning, it's heartwarming to see glimpses of childhood joy sprinkled throughout the image - laughter shared during mealtime or moments of playfulness between friends. This print from Bridgeman Images not only captures historical significance but also highlights how institutions like the Gordon Memorial Boys Home provided opportunities for underprivileged children to receive an education that prepared them for future endeavors. It serves as a testament to resilience and determination in shaping young lives during that era.
