EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a significant moment at Lambeth Palace on Christmas Day. Titled "The Archbishop of Canterbury's Dole" it offers a glimpse into an act of compassion and charity during the festive season. The image, part of the Peter Jackson Collection, captures the essence of this historical event. Intricately detailed, the architecture of Lambeth Palace serves as a backdrop for this heartwarming scene. The grandeur and solemnity of the building contrast with the theme at hand – poverty and giving. The Archbishop himself takes center stage, surrounded by individuals in need who have gathered to receive his benevolence. Published in Illustrated Times on December 22nd, 1860, this engraving immortalizes an annual tradition that has continued for centuries. Known as "Canterbury's Dole" it symbolizes hope and kindness during a time when many struggle to make ends meet. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of our shared humanity but also how acts of generosity can transcend time itself. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of Christmas and reminds us all to extend our hands towards those less fortunate. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect on our own capacity for empathy and encourages us to embrace the true meaning behind this joyous holiday season – spreading love and goodwill to all.
