EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant moment in history - the room where Mrs. Hanley's twins were born during the chaos of World War II. The devastating impact of the war is evident as debris fills the crib, a stark reminder of the London Maternity Hospital being bombed on September 10th, 1940. Amidst this destruction, Mrs. Hanley's babies found safety under their mother's bed, highlighting the resilience and strength exhibited by families during these challenging times. The image serves as a powerful symbol of hope amidst despair. In this snapshot from the 1940s, we witness not only the bravery and determination of women like Mrs. Hanley but also recognize the crucial role played by nurses and medical professionals on the home front during World War II. Their dedication to caring for patients despite constant threats demonstrates their unwavering commitment to saving lives. George Greenwell skillfully captures this historic moment with his camera lens, preserving it for future generations to reflect upon and remember those who endured unimaginable hardships during wartime. This photograph stands as a testament to both human resilience and sacrifice while serving as a reminder that even in times of darkness, there is always light shining through.
