EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1937, showcases a group of smartly dressed boys from Northcotts Approved School in Walthamstow, London, proudly posing with their self-built puppet theatre. Northcotts Approved School was a children's home and care institution that provided welfare services for orphans and children in need of care and protection. The boys, dressed in crisp shirts and neatly pressed trousers, have created an intricate and imaginative puppet theatre, complete with a curtain, stage, and an array of colourful puppets. Their faces radiate joy and excitement as they prepare to put on a show, reflecting the therapeutic benefits of creativity and self-expression. The puppet theatre served as an essential outlet for these children, allowing them to explore their artistic talents, develop social skills, and create a sense of community. The theatre also provided a much-needed distraction from the challenges they faced in their daily lives. The construction of the puppet theatre represents the resilience and resourcefulness of these young boys, who, despite their circumstances, were able to come together and create something magical. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of creativity, community, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
