EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken on the 4th of January in the year 1911, we find ourselves in the bustling composing room of The Illustrated London News and Sketch offices, where an extraordinary gathering of eighty Boy Scouts from South-East London have been invited for an unforgettable experience. Led by their esteemed Captain Boyes, these young adventurers, dressed in their iconic uniforms, are seen immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the room, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the newspaper industry. The image captures the spirit of excitement and curiosity as the Boy Scouts explore the inner workings of the renowned publications. The composing room, filled with the clatter of typewriters and the hum of activity, serves as a fascinating backdrop to this unique encounter. Following their visit to the composing room, the boys were treated to a delightful tea party at the Gaiety restaurant. The photograph does not reveal the details of this joyous occasion, but we can imagine the laughter and camaraderie that must have filled the room as the young scouts savored their well-deserved treat. As the afternoon came to a close, the energetic group took to the streets of the Strand, raising the spirits of passersby with their lusty cheers for The Sketch and The Illustrated London News. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of curiosity, learning, and the magic of bringing together young minds with the world of journalism.
