This engraving from the 19th century depicts a heartwarming scene of compassion and care. Titled "Fitting poor School-Board Children with new Boots and Shoes" it showcases an act of generosity towards underprivileged children. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published in the book "Our Darlings, The Children's Treasury of Pictures and Stories" edited by T. J. Barnardo in approximately 1887. The illustration transports us to a school building where young children eagerly await their turn to receive new footwear. A group of dedicated individuals can be seen fitting each child with boots and shoes, ensuring that they are properly equipped for their schooling journey. This powerful depiction highlights the importance of education even for those facing poverty or precarious circumstances. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this finely crafted engraving, capturing both the innocence and vulnerability of childhood.
