EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Fords Hospital in Coventry, West Midlands, dating back to the 16th century. Founded by William Ford in 1509, this almshouse provided a safe haven for elderly individuals seeking sheltered accommodation. The image was featured on a collectible cigarette card produced by the esteemed Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd as part of their second series highlighting British royal and ancient buildings. The photograph beautifully captures the exterior of Fords Hospital, revealing its remarkable half-timbered architecture that exudes medieval charm. The Tudor-style design transports us back to a bygone era, evoking images of knights and fair maidens roaming these hallowed halls. Located amidst an enchanting landscape in England's West Midlands region, this monochrome depiction emphasizes the building's historical significance. Its presence stands as a testament to charity and compassion towards those in need during the Middle Ages. Preserved through time with meticulous care, this print serves as both an artistic treasure and educational tool.
