EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph from the 1910s, showcasing a vintage caravan parked in England. The image, taken by renowned deaf reformer and photographer Selwyn Oxley, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of caravan workers during this era. The caravan, adorned with intricate floral patterns and ornate detailing, serves as a temporary home and workplace for these laborers. Inside, a group of workers are seen taking a mid-day break, gathered around a table spread with their meal. The simple yet heartwarming scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and community. Of particular interest is the door of the caravan, which reveals an intriguing detail. Hanging on the inside is the Ephphatha Almanack from 1913. The almanac, with its faded pages and worn edges, offers a glimpse into the past, providing information on astronomical events, holidays, and other important dates from that year. Selwyn Oxley, a pioneering figure in the deaf community, was a prolific photographer who documented the lives of deaf people and the Deaf World. His work, which includes this photograph, is an invaluable historical record, shedding light on the experiences and daily life of people during this period. This photograph, with its rich history and intriguing details, is a testament to the past and a reminder of the simple pleasures and shared experiences that transcend time.
