EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment at the recently established home for raid shock children in Chailey, Sussex. The image, taken on 5 March 1918 by Alfieri, transports us to a time when these young souls sought solace and purpose amidst the chaos of war. In this particular scene, we witness a group of boys engrossed in their work within the carpenter's shop. With determination etched on their faces, they skillfully manipulate wood with precision and care. Each stroke of their tools represents not only an act of creation but also a way to reclaim control over their lives that have been disrupted by the horrors they have witnessed. The workshop becomes more than just a place for craftsmanship; it serves as an oasis where these children can find respite from the traumas inflicted upon them. Here, they learn valuable skills that empower them to shape their own destinies while fostering camaraderie among peers who share similar experiences. Alfieri's monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this powerful image. It reminds us of the resilience inherent in childhood innocence even amid adversity. As we gaze upon these young artisans immersed in their craft, we are reminded that hope can be found even in the darkest times. This photograph is part of Europeana Photography collection and stands as a testament to both human creativity and strength during one of history's most challenging periods.
