EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Seven year old pupil of Prior Street School in Gateshead on Tyne" we are transported back to the home front during the Second World War. The image captures a young girl, full of innocence and curiosity, as she checks her change at the counter of the Gateshead school post office. Surrounding her are her school friends, patiently waiting in line. The photograph not only highlights the importance of education during challenging times but also sheds light on how children were actively involved in managing their own finances even at such a tender age. As they navigated through an era marked by scarcity and rationing, these young pupils learned valuable lessons about money management and responsibility. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when children played with simple joys amidst the backdrop of war. It serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, life continued to unfold for these resilient youngsters who found solace within their school community. Reed's expertly captured moment freezes this slice of history forever, allowing us to reflect upon the strength and resilience displayed by both children and educators alike during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
