EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Regents Park Boys Industrial School, located on Regents Park Road in Primrose Hill, London, in the year 1910. The image shows a group of young boys intently focusing on their task as they perform a chair drill under the watchful eye of their instructor. The industrial school, established to provide education and discipline for neglected, delinquent, or destitute boys, was situated in the heart of the bustling city, surrounded by the picturesque Regents Park and the elegant Primrose Hill. The chair drill, a common form of physical training and discipline in institutions of the time, required the boys to sit and stand in unison, demonstrating not only obedience but also agility and coordination. The boys are dressed in uniform, their expressions serious and determined, reflecting the regimented and disciplined atmosphere of the school. The wooden chairs, arranged in neat rows, add to the orderly and structured appearance of the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the boys at the Regents Park Industrial School, providing a poignant reminder of the educational and disciplinary methods employed during this era. The image also highlights the contrast between the urban surroundings of the school and the natural beauty of Regents Park, which served as a respite for the boys during their free time. This photograph is an important historical document, shedding light on the experiences of children in institutional care during the early 20th century.
