EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of Farningham Little Boys Home in Kent, England, established in 1867. The image shows a group of young boys, clad in leather aprons and equipped with a variety of tools, intently focused on their shoemaking tasks. The home, which housed and trained destitute boys from London, adopted the cottage homes system, creating a nurturing environment where boys lived in small family groups. The boys' dedication to learning the art of shoemaking is evident in their determined expressions and the concentration on their faces. The leather aprons and tools not only protected their clothes but also symbolized their commitment to their craft. This photograph, taken in 1891, offers a glimpse into the educational and vocational training that provided these boys with essential skills and a path towards a brighter future.
