EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at Dr Barnardo's Home at Stepney Causeway, London, circa 1914. The image shows a group of Barnardo boys, clad in their uniforms, intently focused on their work at the printing press. Dr Barnardo's Homes, founded by Thomas Barnardo in 1866, were charities that provided shelter, education, and training for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children in the UK. The boys in this photograph are part of the printing trade training program, an initiative aimed at teaching them valuable skills that would enable them to secure employment and become self-sufficient members of society. The printing trade was a popular choice due to its wide availability and the demand for printed materials in the early 20th century. The boys' determined expressions and the orderly arrangement of the printing presses suggest that they are well on their way to mastering their craft. The presence of the caring and supportive staff members in the background further underscores the nurturing environment provided by Dr Barnardo's Homes. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and the transformative power of education and skill-building. It also highlights the significant role that charities like Dr Barnardo's played in providing opportunities for children in need and helping them build a better future for themselves. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of these young boys and the impact of the support they received from the charitable organization.
