1861 Engraving Abandoned Asylum Consort Foundation Human Ladies Laying Merchant Orphan Orphaned Unparented Parentless Person Placing Prince Seamen Stone Purses

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1861 engraving, we witness a significant moment in history as the foundation stone of the Merchant Seamens Orphan Asylum is laid by none other than the esteemed Prince Consort. The image showcases a group of compassionate ladies delicately placing purses on the stone, symbolizing their support for the orphaned and parentless children who will find solace within these walls. The vintage retro style of this print transports us back to Victorian times, where arts and culture flourished. The illustrative technique used in this engraved image adds depth and texture, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The Arkheia collection has once again curated a remarkable piece that not only tells a story but also serves as an artistic representation of an important historical event. This particular print measures an impressive source size of 3964 x 2734 pixels, ensuring that every aspect is beautifully preserved. While we cannot ignore the commercial potential of such a stunning artwork, let us focus instead on its inherent value as a visual testament to compassion and humanity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, let it serve as a reminder that even in times past, people recognized the importance of caring for those less fortunate. May it inspire us to continue supporting charitable causes today and always remember our duty towards abandoned souls seeking refuge and love.
