Christmas Delight at the Royal Free Hospital - A Festive Extravaganza for All
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, captured by Charles J. Staniland in 1889, transports us to a heartwarming scene of Christmas entertainment at the Royal Free Hospital in Grays Inn Road. The image showcases a delightful array of activities and characters that brought joy to patients and staff alike during the holiday season. In this enchanting tableau, we see Father Christmas himself spreading cheer as he mingles with hospital visitors. Children dressed in charming costumes eagerly listen to recitations while holding onto their beloved pets – a griffon, a dove, even a cockatoo! The Rabbeth Memorial Cot is adorned with festive decorations near an exquisitely decorated Christmas tree overflowing with toys. The hospital secretary can be seen distributing gifts and treats while surrounded by newborn infants and toddlers. As if plucked from Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, Mr. C. W. Thies mesmerizes his young audience with tales of Old Father William. Amidst all the excitement, one cannot help but notice the presence of various animals - doves fluttering about gracefully alongside other wildlife creatures such as sea birds and fowls - adding an extra touch of magic to this extraordinary event. This enchanting print captures not only the spirit of giving but also highlights how compassion knows no boundaries within these hallowed hospital walls. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst illness or injury, moments of joy can still be found during
