EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Halliwick School for Girls on Marylebone Road, London, circa 1903. Established in 1851 by Miss Caroline Blunt, this remarkable institution provided education and housing for disabled girls. The image showcases a group of young girls engrossed in needlework, their focused expressions revealing both concentration and determination. The interior setting exudes an atmosphere of warmth and nurturing as these schoolgirls sit together in a classroom filled with simple yet functional furniture. Despite their disabilities, these resilient children are actively participating in the educational process, showcasing the inclusive nature of this pioneering school. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary individuals who defied societal expectations and embraced learning despite their physical challenges. It serves as a testament to Miss Caroline Blunt's philanthropic vision and dedication to empowering disabled girls through education. Preserved from Living London Volume III by George R.
