EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of William Robert Roe, the visionary founder of the Royal School for the Deaf in Derby. The photograph, taken around 1905, showcases Roe's dedication to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for deaf children in need of specialized education and care.
Roe's pioneering work in establishing the school reflects his deep commitment to improving the welfare and social integration of deaf individuals during a time when resources and support were scarce. His efforts laid the foundation for a lasting legacy that continues to impact generations of deaf children today.
In this image, Roe exudes a sense of compassion and determination as he stands proudly beside the children who benefited from his tireless advocacy. His gentle smile conveys a sense of warmth and understanding, embodying his belief in creating a safe haven where every child could thrive and reach their full potential.
As we gaze upon this poignant portrait, we are reminded of Roe's unwavering dedication to championing the rights and well-being of deaf youth. His vision lives on through the enduring impact he made on countless lives, leaving an indelible mark on both past and present generations.
