EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print titled "Watched over by their new step mother in Brighton, Sussex" we are transported back to the year 1939 during the tumultuous times of World War Two. These innocent children, evacuated from Hayter Road in Brixton, London, find solace and safety under the watchful eyes of their new stepmother. As they gather around a table adorned with a delicate net curtain and vintage wallpaper, these resilient youngsters bow their heads in prayer before indulging in some much-needed home cooking. The image captures a poignant moment as they say grace together, seeking comfort and strength amidst the chaos that surrounds them. During this era of conflict and uncertainty, approximately three million children were uprooted from bustling cities like London and sent away to quieter parts of the country for protection. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both the sacrifices made by parents participating in the war effort and the resilience displayed by these young evacuees. The sepia tones evoke nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten. It is through images like these that we can glimpse into history's past and appreciate how even during times of darkness, moments of unity, love, and faith still prevailed.
