EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the moment at the Wartime Nursery for refugee children set up by the Metropolitan Asylums Board at Earls Court, London during the First World War. The year was 1915, a time of great hardship and poverty as the war raged on, forcing many families to flee their homes in search of shelter and safety. The Metropolitan Asylums Board, an organization responsible for the management of workhouses and other charitable institutions, responded to the crisis by establishing this nursery to provide care and accommodation for the toddlers of refugee families. The photograph shows a nurse lovingly tending to a group of toddlers gathered around a table, engaged in an educational activity. The children, dressed in simple clothing, appear focused and content, a testament to the comfort and care they have found in this nursery. The scene is set in a large, dimly lit room with wooden tables and benches, and a board displaying various pens and inkwells, suggesting that the children are being taught to write. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of these young refugees, who, despite the challenges of war, are receiving essential care and support. The Wartime Nursery at Earls Court stands as a historical reminder of the compassionate response of organizations and individuals during times of crisis. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of providing shelter, housing, and care for those in need, especially during times of war and poverty.
