EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a heartwarming moment as the Duchess of York graciously receives gifts for her beloved Princesses from crippled children at Chailey schools. The Duchess visited the Heritage Craft Schools in Chailey, Sussex to inaugurate a new building, but it was during this visit that she was presented with a special gift - a doll made by these talented children. What makes this doll even more extraordinary is its unique dress, crafted from wool sourced from Angora rabbits kept at the schools. This detail adds an extra layer of significance to the gift, showcasing not only the creativity and skill of these young artisans but also their resourcefulness and dedication. The image captures the genuine joy on the face of the Duchess as she accepts this heartfelt present on behalf of her little Princesses. It serves as a testament to her compassion and connection with those less fortunate than herself. The photograph itself is reminiscent of press photography from Europeana's archives in the 1930s, evoking a sense of nostalgia for that era between wars. This remarkable snapshot freezes time and immortalizes an act of kindness that transcends generations. It reminds us all that small gestures can have profound impacts, especially when they come from unexpected sources like these resilient children who found solace in their craft despite their physical challenges.
