EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tender care and compassion at the Edward Nicholl Home for Babies in Llandaff, near Cardiff, during the 1920s. Established in 1918 by the Waifs and Strays Society, this home provided a sanctuary for abandoned and orphaned infants, offering them a safe and nurturing environment. The image shows a group of dedicated nurses lovingly attending to the needs of the young children, who appear to be engrossed in play or rest. The serene atmosphere of the home is palpable, with the soft lighting and cozy interiors creating an inviting and comforting setting. The Waifs and Strays Society, a charitable organization, played a vital role in the welfare of children in need during this era. The society's mission was to rescue and care for children who had been abandoned, neglected, or orphaned, and to find them permanent homes through adoption or fostering. The Edward Nicholl Home for Babies in Llandaff was just one of many such homes established by the Waifs and Strays Society across the UK. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important work that was carried out by these organizations, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the history of child welfare in the 20th century.
