EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of Elm Court School for the Blind, located in Tulse Hill, London, during the early 1900s. The girls in the image are seen diligently working on the seats of wooden stools, their determined expressions reflecting their dedication to their tasks. The chairs, which would have been used throughout the school, were likely being prepared for the upcoming school year or for new students. Established in 1858, Elm Court School was run by the London School Board, an organization dedicated to providing education and care for children in need, including orphans and those with disabilities. The girls in the photograph were likely residents of the school, receiving both education and essential life skills training. Caning the seats of the stools was a common practice during this time to ensure the longevity and durability of the furniture. The girls' deft use of the canes demonstrates their ability to learn and adapt to their environment, despite their visual impairments. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily routine of Elm Court School, showcasing the resilience and determination of its students. It also highlights the importance of education and care for children, particularly those who were marginalized or faced challenges in their lives. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the progress that has been made in the education and welfare of children with disabilities.
