EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the year 1910, capturing a delightful scene at All Saints Infant School in Brightside. The image showcases a group of children dressed as saints, exuding innocence and charm. These young ones are adorned in intricately designed costumes, meticulously crafted to resemble various holy figures. Atop this remarkable photograph stands Winifred Hodgson, known as "The Gypsy Queen". Her regal presence adds an air of mystique and wonder to the already enchanting tableau. It is likely that this snapshot was taken around the same period when she held her esteemed title. Immersed within the walls of their primary school, these children embody not only their respective saintly characters but also the customs and traditions associated with such festivals. Their beaming smiles reflect their excitement for this special occasion. The interior setting provides a glimpse into the educational environment of early 20th-century England. The classroom is adorned with simple yet charming decorations that create an atmosphere conducive to learning and celebration alike. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of how our ancestors celebrated faith and community through vibrant displays like these. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of tradition and highlights how schools have long played an integral role in fostering cultural connections among young minds.
