EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1920s. Titled "Boys following the Poplar Borough Council water cart, London, 1926-1927" it captures a moment filled with joy and innocence. The image showcases a group of barefoot boys gleefully trailing behind a water cart as it navigates through the city. The scene is reminiscent of simpler times when children found happiness in simple pleasures. Their laughter and excitement are palpable, reflecting their carefree nature despite living in an era marked by poverty and hardship. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of these young boys who find delight in something as mundane as splashing water on each other. The composition beautifully portrays not only their exuberance but also highlights important themes such as health and hygiene during that period. It serves as a reminder of how access to clean water was crucial for maintaining public health, especially in densely populated areas like Poplar Borough Council. As we admire this photogravure from Wonderful London edited by Arthur St John Adcock, we are transported back to an era long gone yet still resonating with timeless emotions. Through this image, we can appreciate both the simplicity and complexity of life in early 20th century Britain while marveling at the enduring spirit of these young boys amidst challenging circumstances.
