EDITORS COMMENTS
In this colorised print, titled "Till The Boys Come Home, 1917" we are transported back to the era of World War I. The image showcases a group of strong and determined women workers from Britain who played an integral role in supporting the war effort. The composition exudes a sense of unity and resilience as these remarkable ladies stand together, their direct gazes reflecting unwavering determination. Dressed in traditional headdresses and headscarves, they embody the spirit of patriotism that defined the early 20th century. Surrounded by machinery and printing equipment, these women demonstrate their proficiency in various trades such as publishing and printing. Their presence symbolizes not only their contribution to wartime production but also challenges gender norms prevalent during that time. This extraordinary photograph captures a pivotal moment in history when women stepped up to fill vital roles traditionally reserved for men. It serves as a testament to their strength, adaptability, and unwavering dedication to serving their country. Thanks to modern technology's ability to breathe new life into black-and-white images through colorisation techniques, we can now appreciate this historical gem with enhanced vibrancy. As we admire this print today, let us remember the countless unsung heroines whose efforts helped shape our world during one of its most challenging periods – World War I.
