EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of joy and wonderment at Lord Mayor Treloar Cripples Home in Alton, Hampshire, England, circa 1920s. The image shows a group of children, some with crutches, gathered outside the large aviary, their faces filled with excitement as they take in the sights and sounds of the birds within. Lord Mayor Treloar Cripples Home was an orphanage and children's welfare institution established in 1889 by the late Lord Mayor of London, Sir William Treloar. The home provided care, education, and social opportunities for children with disabilities, many of whom had been abandoned or orphaned. The institution was renowned for its innovative approach to care and rehabilitation, and the aviary was just one of the many amenities that helped to enrich the lives of the children in its care. The children in the photograph appear to be taking a break from their daily routine, enjoying the simple pleasure of observing the birds in their natural habitat. The aviary, with its lush greenery and vibrant colors, serves as a stark contrast to the gray, industrial surroundings of the orphanage. The image offers a poignant reminder of the importance of providing opportunities for joy and wonderment in the lives of children, especially those who face significant challenges. This photograph is a testament to the history and legacy of Lord Mayor Treloar Cripples Home, which continues to inspire and inform the work of organizations dedicated to the care and support of children with disabilities to this day.
