EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1908, captures a moment of simple joy and innocence at The Poor Children's Sandpit in Regent's Park. The sandpit, which was specifically designed for the use of underprivileged children, was a beloved feature of the park during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image presents a scene of children engrossed in their play, their laughter and excitement echoing through the air. The lantern slide, which dates back to this period, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the clothing styles and social dynamics of the time. The children, dressed in their best clothes, appear to be fully immersed in their play, oblivious to the world around them. The image also provides a glimpse into the conditions of the time, with the stark contrast between the children's simple pleasures and the austere surroundings. The Poor Children's Sandpit was a testament to the charitable efforts of the time, providing a much-needed respite for children who may not have had many opportunities for enjoyment. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of play and the simple joys of childhood, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
