EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet industry and learning at Dr. Guthrie's Original Industrial School for Boys in Liberton, Edinburgh, circa 1899. The image shows a group of young boys diligently tending to a garden, their focused expressions and neatly-lined rows of vegetables and flowers a testament to the disciplined and nurturing environment provided by the institution. Established in 1854, Dr. Guthrie's Industrial School was one of many children's homes and reformatories that emerged during the Victorian era in response to the growing numbers of orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children in urban areas. The school aimed to provide a safe and supportive environment for these boys, offering them education, training, and the opportunity to develop essential life skills. The gardening program was just one of many services offered to help the boys become self-sufficient and contribute to the community. The boys' gardening activities not only provided fresh produce for the school, but also instilled a sense of pride and accomplishment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these boys and the caring and dedicated staff who worked to ensure their wellbeing and future success.
