EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Gateway of the Foundling Hospital, dating back to 1876. Founded in 1739 by Thomas Coram, this iconic institution in Bloomsbury served as a sanctuary for abandoned and vulnerable young children, making it a prominent charitable organization of its time. The image showcases the architectural splendor of the building exterior, with intricate details that reflect both elegance and history. In the foreground, we see a group of background people going about their day in bustling London city life. A horse-drawn carriage passes through the entrance gate, adding a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from yesteryears. The photograph also features a dog accompanying its owner on what seems like an ordinary day in front of this remarkable landmark. The presence of these everyday elements amidst such historical significance adds depth to our understanding of how life carried on around this important institution. With its rich historical context and striking composition captured by an unknown creator, this print offers us a glimpse into an era when charity was fashionable and compassion for abandoned children prevailed. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grand architecture and busy city streets, acts of kindness can shape lives forever.
