Richard Curtis and his partner Emma Freud arrive for The London Film Critics Circle, supporting the NSPCC's mission to protect children from cruelty. Since its founding in 1884 by Victorian social reformer Benjamin Waugh, the NSPCC has been dedicated to preventing child abuse and advocating for their rights. The tireless work of this UK charity is beautifully depicted in advertisements from The Illustrated London News, 1896. Angela Burdett-Coutts, a philanthropist of great influence during that era, also played a significant role in championing the cause. Engravings showcase the impactful efforts of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children - from raising awareness through appeals to providing support at their office. Even Queen's prisoners were not forgotten as they were escorted off to Bow Street with care and compassion. Today, we continue this legacy as seen in a poster advertising the NSPCC's Diamond Jubilee Year Appeal at Empire Cinema in Leicester Square, London. Let us stand together against cruelty towards children and ensure their safety and happiness.
