Commissioned by Picture Post in the late 1930s, Brandt photographed the Hurst family in their Jarrow home, illustrating the poverty suffered within the town during the inter-war years. Once an area of booming industry, the Great Depression saw the collapse of Jarrow's iron, steel, and shipbuilding manufacture, which left many in the area struggling to support their young families.
