Guilford Street, St Pancras, London, 1749 - A Glimpse into the Foundling Hospital
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. Artist Michael Angelo Rooker skillfully captures a poignant scene outside the renowned Foundling Hospital on Guilford Street. The image showcases women at the gate, their hearts heavy with emotion as they bring their precious babies to be entrusted in the care of this charitable institution. The grandeur of the building itself is awe-inspiring; its architecture standing tall against time. Located in Camden, this historic landmark served as a sanctuary for orphaned children during an era when social welfare was scarce. It symbolizes both hope and despair - a place where destitute mothers made difficult choices for their offspring's future. Rooker's monochrome engraving beautifully portrays the essence of motherhood and parenthood within society at that time. The statue adorning the entrance serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion amidst adversity. Today, this thought-provoking artwork can be found at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London. Its historical significance resonates deeply, shedding light on not only medical advancements but also societal attitudes towards childhood and family dynamics during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Michael Angelo Rooker, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history - one that reminds us of our collective responsibility to care for those most vulnerable among us
