EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of pride and camaraderie among the inmates of Mettray Colony, an agricultural institution for delinquent boys located near Tours, France. Established in the 1840s, Mettray Colony was a pioneer of the cottage homes system, which aimed to provide a more humane and effective alternative to the overcrowded and harsh conditions of workhouses and prisons. In this image, the boys, dressed in uniforms, line up in formation to participate in a band parade, playing brass instruments with determination and focus. The sight of these young boys, once considered lost causes, coming together to create music and perform in the streets of the colony, is a testament to the transformative power of the cottage homes system. The photograph, taken in the late 1800s, offers a glimpse into a historical moment that would later influence child welfare policies in England and beyond. The boys' earnest expressions and the sense of community they exude, make this image a poignant reminder of the importance of providing a supportive and nurturing environment for children in need.
