EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of The Westminster School of Industry, located on Old Pye Street. Printed by Leighton Brothers using lithography techniques, this print showcases the English School's talent for capturing emotion and storytelling through their art. In this image, we see a group of young boys diligently engaged in the task of mending shoes. These boys are part of the school's mission to provide education and vocational training to underprivileged children. With focused expressions on their faces, they showcase determination and resilience despite their challenging circumstances. The setting is believed to be within the workhouse or poorhouse premises where these boys resided. The cobbler overseeing their work exemplifies the spirit of teaching and charity that was at the core of The Westminster School of Industry's philosophy. Measuring 55.6x45.7 cm, this print offers a glimpse into an era when access to education was limited for many impoverished children. It serves as a reminder not only of how far society has come but also highlights the importance of initiatives like The Westminster School in providing opportunities for those less fortunate. Preserved at City of Westminster Archive Centre in London, UK, this historic photograph is now part of eWestminster Archives collection thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts in making it accessible to all who appreciate fine art with historical significance.
