EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Silver Street Boys School Advanced Class Fancy Dress Group from the year 1909. The image features six young boys, Harold Blanchard, Philip Wilson, Arthur Thorne, Ernest Trafford, Billy Rigby, and Billy Wand, all dressed up in elaborate costumes for what appears to be a school performance or show. The boys' costumes are reminiscent of the Edwardian era, with each one donning various outfits. However, the most striking feature of this photograph is the blackened faces and hands of the boys. This was a common practice during the early 1900s for fancy dress costumes, particularly for depicting characters such as policemen. The boys' costumes include police uniforms, complete with top hats, helmets, and truncheons. Their aprons are adorned with the words "POLICE" and "WILLS," suggesting that they may have been portraying a specific police duo or team. The boys' enthusiasm and camaraderie are evident in their poses and expressions. Despite the controversial practice of blacking up faces for entertainment, this photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the playful and creative spirit of these young boys during the early 1900s. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records, even those that may be considered controversial or politically incorrect by today's standards.
