EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures three young Scottish dancers, Mary Jamieson, Mary Allison, and Mary Pratt, from the Langside School for the Deaf in Glasgow, circa 1905. The girls, all dressed in traditional Scottish attire, exude a sense of joy and enthusiasm as they engage in a lively dance. The Langside School for the Deaf, established in 1859, was one of the first institutions in Scotland dedicated to providing education and care for deaf children. It offered not only academic instruction but also social welfare and accommodation, enabling these children to develop essential life skills and build a sense of community. The girls' identities have been carefully documented, adding a personal touch to this historical image. Mary Jamieson, the first girl on the left, wears a red and white tartan dress and a white apron. Mary Allison, in the middle, dons a blue and white tartan dress, and Mary Pratt, on the right, is dressed in a green and white tartan outfit. Their expressions and body language suggest a deep connection and shared enjoyment of their dance. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of deaf children in Scotland during the early 20th century, highlighting the importance of education, care, and social activities in creating opportunities for their personal growth and development.
