EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing "The London Orphan Asylum" in Watford, Hertfordshire. The image captures a momentous occasion - the Jubilee Dinner held at Hotel Metropole. In this bustling scene, we see a myriad of activities taking place within the asylum grounds. On one side, boys can be seen diligently drilling and practicing music with their band, while on another side girls are engaged in a cooking class, honing their culinary skills for future endeavors. In the background lies the dormitory where children find solace and comfort after a day filled with education and exercise. The highlight of this event is undoubtedly HRH The Prince of Wales proposing a toast to celebrate the achievements of these resilient young souls who have found refuge in this institution. Their journey from destitution to empowerment is symbolized by various elements such as sewing classes, dumbbell exercises, and even an intriguing music cell. "The London Orphan Asylum" stands tall as not just a shelter but also an educational haven for these orphaned children. This print serves as a poignant reminder that amidst adversity, hope can flourish through compassion and dedicated efforts towards providing better lives for those less fortunate.
