EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the heart of Salford's slums, this poignant print showcases the harsh reality faced by the Logan family in their English bedroom. The year is 1960, a time when poverty and destitution cast a long shadow over countless households. Pictured from left to right are Rita Logan, just eleven years old but already burdened with adult responsibilities; her sister Margaret, thirteen and forced to grow up too soon; and their younger brothers Thomas, John, and Peter aged nine, three, and seven respectively. Within these cramped walls lies a microcosm of struggle - a testament to the dire living conditions that plagued many families during this era. Lancashire's Greater Manchester region bore witness to immense hardship as slum housing became an unfortunate norm for those trapped in cyclical poverty. The image serves as a stark reminder of the inequalities that persisted within society at large. Cyril Maitland's lens captures not only the physical limitations imposed on these children but also hints at their resilience amidst adversity. As we reflect upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember that it represents more than just one family's plight. It stands as an emblematic symbol of societal neglect and calls upon us all to strive for better living standards for every child.
