EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the history of Hoxton, a once notorious slum area in the heart of London. The image, taken in the early 20th century, depicts a group of children huddled together on the worn pavement, engrossed in a game of cards. The scene is set against a backdrop of brick buildings and the occasional horse-drawn cart, adding to the sense of time and place. Despite the hardships of their environment, the children seem to find joy in their simple pastime. They sit on the side of the road, their worn shoes and tattered clothes a testament to their humble circumstances. Among the cards they play with, some are cigarette cards, a common curiosity during this era. The odd card peeks out from the pile, its image obscured by the hands of the children, adding to the mystery of their game. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of children growing up in the slums of Hoxton during the early 20th century. It serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of children, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The image is a powerful reminder of the rich history and complexity of London's past, and the stories that lie hidden within its streets and buildings.
