EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Sunday at the Foundling Hospital" takes us back to 19th century London and offers a glimpse into the lives of orphaned children. This poignant image, part of a private collection, showcases an English School's masterful engraving skills. In this scene, we are transported to the dining hall of the Foundling Hospital on a peaceful Sunday afternoon. The room is filled with rows of neatly arranged tables adorned with white tablecloths. A sense of order and routine permeates as children sit patiently in anticipation of their meal. The artist skillfully captures the diversity among these young faces - some displaying curiosity, others lost in thought or engaged in conversation. Their innocence shines through despite their circumstances; each child carries a unique story within them. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 7th, 1872. It serves as a reminder that even amidst hardship and loss, institutions like the Foundling Hospital provided solace and care for those who needed it most. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. Through this print, we are invited to reflect upon our own privileges while appreciating the resilience and strength exhibited by these young souls who found hope within the walls of an orphanage in Victorian London.
