EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pure joy and innocence as young girls play with a ball on the recreation ground at the Royal Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in Derby. The date of this heartwarming scene is unknown, but the image speaks volumes about the care and welfare provided to children at this esteemed institution. Established to provide accommodation, society, and housing for those who were deaf or dumb, this home was a sanctuary for many vulnerable individuals. The sight of these girls laughing and playing together is a testament to the nurturing environment that was fostered within these walls. As they chase after the ball with smiles on their faces, it is evident that they are not defined by their disabilities but rather by their spirit and resilience. This snapshot serves as a reminder of the importance of creating inclusive spaces where all children can thrive regardless of any challenges they may face. The Peter Higginbotham Collection has preserved this precious moment in time, allowing us to reflect on the history and legacy of institutions like the Royal Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in terms of caring for those in need, while also highlighting how much more work there is still left to do in ensuring equality and opportunity for all.
