EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photograph captured by Reg Lewis, we witness the extraordinary strength and love of 33-year-old Mrs. Mavis Graham from Plymouth. A mother of thirteen children, ranging in age from 4 months to 14 years old, she fearlessly takes on the task of giving them all a refreshing shower on a scorching summer day. As the sun beats down upon their quaint Devon home on September 1st, 1957, Mrs. Graham ingeniously employs a watering can as her tool for this unconventional family bath time ritual. With an apron tied around her waist and a smile adorning her face, she stands proudly amidst her bustling brood. The image exudes both chaos and harmony simultaneously - boys and girls alike are gathered together on the front lawn, eagerly awaiting their turn under the makeshift showerhead. Laughter fills the air as water cascades over little heads and tiny bodies. This snapshot encapsulates not only the challenges faced by large families during that era but also showcases Mrs. Graham's resourcefulness and resilience in making do with what is available to provide for her children's needs. Reg Lewis has masterfully immortalized this beautiful moment in time; it serves as a testament to maternal love that transcends any obstacles or limitations thrown its way.
