EDITORS COMMENTS
Children performing a maypole drill, Southfields Infants School, Wandsworth, London, 1906. This print captures a delightful scene from early 20th century education in England. In the school playground of Southfields Infants School, a group of girls gracefully dance around a beautifully adorned maypole while their fellow classmates eagerly watch on. The innocence and joy radiating from these young children is palpable. Located on Merton Road in Wandsworth, this charming avenue witnessed countless moments of learning and play for generations of students. The photograph was preserved by the Greater London Council (GLC) and can now be found at the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a testament to the importance placed on physical education during that era. The May Day tradition brought together boys and girls alike to partake in this rhythmic spectacle that fostered teamwork and coordination skills. Although the identities of these schoolchildren remain unknown to us today, their spirit lives on through this remarkable image. Let us cherish their youthful enthusiasm forever captured within these monochrome frames.
