EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grand entrance of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, a historic institution that has been dedicated to the care and treatment of sick children in Britain since its founding in 1852. Located on Great Ormond Street in London, the hospital has a rich and storied history that spans over 160 years. The image, taken circa 1880, shows the impressive facade of the hospital, adorned with intricate architectural details and ornate stonework. The imposing entrance archway, topped with the hospital's crest, invites visitors and patients into the sanctuary of the institution. The horse-drawn carriage in the foreground adds a sense of history and nostalgia, transporting us back in time to an era when such journeys were a common mode of transportation. Great Ormond Street Hospital was one of the first hospitals in the world dedicated solely to the care of sick children. Its founding was inspired by the plight of a young patient named Charles West, who died in St. Bartholomew's Hospital due to a lack of proper care for children. The hospital's mission was to provide a more child-friendly environment, with specialized care and attention for young patients. Over the years, Great Ormond Street Hospital has been at the forefront of medical advancements and innovations, including the development of the first high-dependency unit for newborns and the first successful bone marrow transplant in a child. The hospital continues to be a beacon of hope and healing for children and their families, providing world-class care and support in a compassionate and nurturing environment. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Great Ormond Street Hospital and its commitment to the health and wellbeing of sick children in Britain.
