EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported to Thanksgiving Day at the Foundling Hospital. The image captures a heartwarming scene as children eagerly gather to view a grand procession passing by. Dressed in their uniforms, these orphans stand side by side with anticipation and excitement shining in their eyes. The artist skillfully portrays the innocence and curiosity of these young souls, highlighting their vulnerability yet resilience. Amongst them, we can spot little girls and boys, each representing a story of hope amidst adversity. Their presence reminds us of the importance of compassion and support for those less fortunate. As we delve deeper into this historical moment, it becomes apparent that this event holds significant royal significance. Queen Victoria herself graces the procession with her regal presence, emphasizing her dedication to philanthropy and care for these children. This engraving not only serves as a visual testament to an important day but also offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's values and attitudes towards charity. It is through such images that we gain insight into our past while appreciating how far we have come in terms of social welfare. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an invaluable piece of art that sparks both admiration for its aesthetic appeal and contemplation about our shared history.
