EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Holiday for East-End Boys" takes us back to a bygone era in the late 19th century. Organized by the University College Hospital Working Lads Institute, this week-long adventure on the Bure River in Norfolk provided a much-needed respite for young boys from London's bustling East End. The scene depicts a picturesque riverbank where several wherries, traditional flat-bottomed boats, are moored. The boys can be seen enjoying various activities such as bathing and playing games during their well-deserved holiday. Laughter fills the air as they chase each other along the riverbank and engage in a lively game of leapfrog. In one corner of the image, we catch a glimpse of dinner time, where these energetic youngsters gather together to refuel after their day's adventures. The tranquil waters of the Bure River provide an idyllic backdrop for this joyful occasion. The artist Durand Godefroy masterfully captures both the innocence and exuberance of youth through his intricate engravings. This particular artwork was originally featured in The Graphic magazine on October 28th, 1893. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, there is always room for joy and rejuvenation. It speaks to the power of community organizations like the University College Hospital Working Lads Institute in providing opportunities for underprivileged children to experience moments of pure delight and create lasting memories.
