EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the heartwarming moment between John A. Groom, a renowned London engraver and evangelical preacher, and his young son, John Alfred Groom. The image offers a glimpse into the personal life of a man whose deep concern for the welfare of the less fortunate in society led him to make a profound impact on his community. John Groom's compassion extended to the plight of poor and often disabled flower sellers, as well as deprived and orphaned children. Moved by their struggles, he dedicated himself to providing relief and support, and in 1907, founded the John Grooms Crippleage and Flower Girls Mission. This pioneering charity aimed to improve the lives of those in need by offering shelter, education, and vocational training. The photograph's date remains unknown, but it captures the tender bond between father and son, as they share a moment of love and connection amidst the challenges they faced together. John Groom's legacy continues to inspire and resonate, as his unwavering commitment to helping the most vulnerable members of society serves as a testament to the power of compassion and the transformative impact of charitable endeavors.
