EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the joy and innocence of a group of young girls from Stanhope Street School in London during a 'Happy Evening' play performance of 'Oranges and Lemons' in the early 1900s. The London School Boards, an organization established to provide education for working-class children in the city, oversaw the operation of this school. The girls, dressed in their best, exude excitement and enthusiasm as they engage in this theatrical production. The title of the play, 'Oranges and Lemons,' is a well-known nursery rhyme that has been a part of British folklore for centuries. The rhyme's connection to the school is unclear, but it likely served as an entertaining and engaging way for the students to learn and practice their reading and recitation skills. The warm lighting and cozy setting of the school's auditorium create a sense of community and belonging, highlighting the importance of education and the joy it brings to young minds. This photograph is a precious reminder of a simpler time, when the power of a good education and a little imagination could transport children to new worlds and create memories that last a lifetime.
