EDITORS COMMENTS
Boys and girls playing netball, Cable Street School, Stepney, London, 1908. This print captures a moment in time at Cable Street School where boys and girls are engaged in an exhilarating game of netball. The image showcases the progressive nature of education during the early 20th century as both genders participate together in physical education. Refereed by a dedicated teacher, this mixed group of children demonstrates teamwork, skill, and enthusiasm for the sport. Located in the heart of London's vibrant East End, Cable Street School served as a hub for learning and personal development. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of this photograph while also highlighting the historic significance it holds. Preserved by the Greater London Council's Photograph Library at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image offers us a glimpse into an era when traditional gender roles were being challenged. As we observe these schoolchildren immersed in play on that fateful day over a century ago, we are reminded of how far society has come since then. This powerful metaphor serves as a testament to progress made towards equality within education. Let us cherish this remarkable piece from our past – not just as an artifact but also as inspiration for future generations to continue breaking barriers through sportsmanship and inclusivity.
