The Gordon Boys Home at Portsmouth - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a rare glimpse into the daily life of The Gordon Boys Home at Portsmouth. The engraving, originally featured in The Graphic on October 31st, 1885, showcases an important chapter in educational history. The image transports us to a bustling scene during dinner time, where young boys dressed in their school uniforms gather around long tables. Miss Gordon herself can be seen overseeing this precious moment of nourishment and camaraderie. Behind them lies a well-organized schoolroom filled with eager students engrossed in their studies. In another corner of the photograph, we witness the first detachment of Gordon boys waking up early morning and rolling out of bed. Their dormitory is neat and orderly – a testament to discipline instilled within these walls. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we notice one boy diligently writing at his desk while others engage in various tasks throughout the room. This image encapsulates not only academic education but also practical work skills that were imparted upon these young minds. The significance of The Gordon Boys Home cannot be overstated; it provided shelter and education for countless children who may have otherwise been left without opportunities. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in providing equal access to education for all children today.
