EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print by George Greenwell, we are transported back to the heart-wrenching events of the 1940s during World War II. The image captures a room that holds both joy and devastation - it is the very space where Mrs. Hanley's twins were born. As our eyes wander through the scene, they are drawn to a crib filled with debris, remnants of a horrifying event that forever changed lives. This room was once part of London Maternity Hospital, a place meant to bring hope and new beginnings. However, on that fateful day - September 10th, 1940 - when the city was under attack during the Blitz, even this sanctuary became vulnerable. Amidst chaos and destruction caused by bombings, Mrs. Hanley's babies found shelter beneath their mother's bed as she bravely protected them from harm. It serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength displayed by ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. The presence of medical equipment hints at the tireless efforts made by dedicated nurses who risked their own safety to care for patients amidst war-torn surroundings. Their unwavering commitment to saving lives shines through in this photograph. This evocative image encapsulates not only an individual family's story but also represents countless others who faced similar trials during World War II on the home front. It stands as a testament to human endurance and reminds us never to forget those who lived through such challenging times.
