EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1937, capturing a moment in time at a girls' school in Orpington, Kent. The image showcases the dedicated dinner lady serving lunch to a group of young girls, who eagerly await their meal. The scene is filled with nostalgia from the interwar period, as we witness this slice of everyday life between the wars. The monochrome tones add depth and character to the photograph, emphasizing its vintage charm. The dinner lady stands tall and proud in her uniform, embodying both authority and care as she serves food onto plates placed neatly on long tables. Her presence brings comfort to these children who are eager to eat and drink after a day of learning. The dinning hall is bustling with activity as children chatter amongst themselves while enjoying their midday meal. Their uniforms reflect discipline and unity within this educational institution. This remarkable piece by John Topham captures not only an ordinary moment but also highlights the importance of nourishment and community during that era. It reminds us of simpler times when shared meals brought people together. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it evokes feelings of warmth and gratitude for those who have dedicated themselves to nurturing others through simple acts like serving lunch at school.
