EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the cricket team at the Boys Home Industrial School in London, circa 1900. The young boys proudly pose with their trophy and cricket bats, exuding a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie. Standing tall at the back are two masters wearing straw boaters, overseeing their students' success. In the center sits an older master, distinguished by his walking stick, symbolizing wisdom and guidance. The image transports us to a different era when education was paramount and sports played a vital role in shaping character. These boys from diverse backgrounds come together on this avenue of dreams to learn not only academic lessons but also valuable life skills through sport. Located on Regents Park Road under the watchful eye of the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC), this institution provided shelter, education, and hope for these children who may have faced challenging circumstances outside its walls. As we gaze upon each face captured in monochrome splendor, we can't help but wonder about their individual stories - their hopes, dreams, struggles, and triumphs. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that every child deserves access to quality education regardless of their background or circumstances. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for over a century now, this image stands as testament to both the power of teamwork found within sportsmanship and the enduring spirit of these young pupils who were taught not just how to play cricket but also how to navigate life
