Gelatin silver print, part of the Henry Grant photographs collection. The image shows a figure dressed as Santa Claus carrying a large sack on their back and standing with a group of children in front of a christmas tree and a table full of presents. The children are dressed in party hats and one child is in crutches. The caption on the reverse reads 'Spastic children from Willesden School at a Xmas Party'. The term 'spastic' is considered offensive today but was widely used during the 1950s.
