EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to a sunny sports day in 1938 at Lamorbey Residential School in Sidcup, Kent. As we gaze upon the image, we are instantly immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of this bygone era. The photograph showcases a diverse group of girls and boys eagerly spectating from wooden benches, their youthful faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The children's animated expressions reveal their genuine enthusiasm for the sporting events unfolding before them. In the background, we catch glimpses of other spectators standing alongside the benches, creating an energetic buzz that permeates throughout the scene. The timeless monochrome aesthetic adds a nostalgic charm to this snapshot from history. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, this image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the resilience and joy found amidst challenging times between two world wars. It is through photographs like these that we can gain insight into our shared past and appreciate how much has changed over the course of the twentieth century. As we admire this piece of Europeana photography, let us reflect on how sports have always brought people together across generations - fostering camaraderie and celebrating human spirit regardless of age or gender.
