EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 8th of December in 1926, we are transported back to a time when compassion and community were at the forefront. The image showcases an extraordinary act of kindness by two remarkable women, Lady Islington and Lady Grigg. They have opened up their rooftop home and garden to children who do not have access to such luxuries. The landscape format allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur of their rooftop sanctuary. A beautiful iron railing frames the scene, symbolizing both protection and inclusivity. Beyond it, we see a charming chimney rising into the sky, reminding us that even in bustling cities like London there is room for warmth and care. Lady Islington and Lady Grigg embody different roles within society; yet here they stand united in their dedication to making a difference for those less fortunate. Their selflessness shines through as they offer these children a glimpse of joy amidst concrete surroundings. Photographer Davis has masterfully captured this poignant moment from above, emphasizing both the vastness of space available on rooftops as well as its potential for creating meaningful connections between people. This print serves as a timeless reminder that acts of kindness can transcend social boundaries while nurturing hope where it may seem scarce. It reminds us all that sometimes all it takes is opening our hearts (and our homes) to make a real difference in someone's life.
