EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated circa 1912, showcases a Barnardos Contrast Card advertising the relocation of their East London children's home to the new Boys Garden City Home at Woodford Bridge, Essex. The Contrast Card, a popular fundraising tool used by Barnardos, highlights the stark contrast between the living conditions of disadvantaged children before and after their care. The image on the left side of the postcard depicts a group of sad and disheveled children huddled together in a cramped and dark room, symbolizing their previous living situation. In stark contrast, the right side of the postcard reveals a joyful scene of well-dressed and happy children playing outdoors in the beautiful gardens of the new Barnardos home at Woodford Bridge. The move to the new home marked a significant milestone in Barnardos' history, as they continued to provide essential care and support for children in need. The Boys Garden City Home was designed to offer a nurturing and safe environment for children, providing them with the opportunity to thrive and grow. Barnardos, a leading children's charity, has been dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable children and young people since its inception in 1867. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the organization's commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of children, even in the early 20th century. The postcard's historical significance lies in its representation of Barnardos' mission to improve the lives of disadvantaged children, as well as the progress made in children's social housing and care during this time period. This rare and evocative postcard offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the important work of Barnardos and the profound impact it has had on the lives of countless children over the years.
