EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and respite at the Josiah Mason Orphanage in Birmingham during the 1930s. In the recreation room, a group of young girls are seen engaged in various activities, each finding their own way to pass the time and connect with one another. Some girls focus intently on their books, lost in the worlds they create through reading. Others write in journals or letters, perhaps penning words to loved ones or crafting stories of their own. The table tennis table in the foreground serves as a focal point for play and friendly competition, as two girls prepare for a match. The room is filled with a sense of community and camaraderie, as these girls, who have known the challenges of growing up in an orphanage, come together to find moments of happiness and connection. The Josiah Mason Orphanage, founded in 1868, was a leading children's home in Birmingham, providing care and support to hundreds of children over the years. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the girls at the orphanage, showcasing the importance of recreation and play in fostering their emotional and social wellbeing.
