EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment outside the One Tun Ragged School in Westminster, circa 1860s. The children gathered outside the former pub turned school in Perkins Rents are a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by many young ones during this era. The One Tun Ragged School served as a beacon of hope for these underprivileged children, providing them with not just education but also care and accommodation. It was more than just a school; it was a sanctuary for those who had nowhere else to turn. In this image, we see the innocence and resilience of these children as they stand together, facing an uncertain future with courage and determination. Their faces tell stories of hardship and struggle, yet there is also a glimmer of hope shining through. As we look at this photograph from the Peter Higginbotham Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we are reminded of the importance of organizations like the One Tun Ragged School in providing welfare and support to those in need. It serves as a powerful testament to the compassion and dedication of society towards caring for its most vulnerable members. Let us remember these brave children who stood outside that old pub-turned-school, seeking refuge and opportunity amidst adversity. Their legacy lives on in images like this one, inspiring us to continue fighting for equality and justice for all.
