EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of hope and creativity at the John Grooms Crippleage and Flower Girls Mission, a charitable institution established in London by John Grooms, an engraver and evangelical preacher, in 1866. The mission was founded with the aim of providing support and opportunities for poor and often disabled flower-sellers, many of whom were blind, maimed, or crippled. In this image, a group of young girls, some with visible disabilities, are seen busily engaged in the artful process of making artificial flowers. Their determined expressions and focused attention convey a sense of purpose and pride in their work. The mission, which later moved to Hendon and Clacton, offered these girls not only the means to earn a living but also the opportunity to learn valuable skills and build a sense of community. Grooms, a compassionate and forward-thinking individual, recognized the potential in these girls and sought to empower them through the creation of this mission. His efforts not only provided a vital source of income for the girls but also helped to challenge societal perceptions of disability and promote the importance of inclusion and opportunity for all. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of disability rights and social welfare, highlighting the transformative power of compassion, creativity, and community.
