EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the challenges faced by physically and mentally disabled children in early 20th century education. The image depicts a group of physically defectives being conveyed to school in an ambulance, while mentally defectives engage in strip woodwork activities under the guidance of their teacher. The composition evokes both empathy and admiration for these brave children who were determined to receive an education despite their disabilities. It serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made in inclusive education over the years. Taken by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, this rare print is part of a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration for "The Teachers Encyclopaedia" edited by A. P. Laurie and published by Caxton in 1911. Preserved through time, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the educational practices that shaped society's understanding of disability at that time. It symbolizes resilience, compassion, and the importance of providing equal opportunities for all children to learn and grow. Through its stark monochrome tones and compelling subject matter, this image invites viewers to reflect upon how far we have come in our efforts towards inclusivity within educational systems worldwide.
