EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a touching scene in a charitable institution, showcasing a portrait plaque of Queen Alexandra on the wall of a children's ward at the Alexandra Hospital in Swanley. The hospital was named after the beloved Queen-Mother, who was known for her philanthropic work and dedication to helping those in need.
The date of 1925 adds historical significance to this image, as it reflects a time when healthcare for children was not as advanced as it is today. The sight of the Queen Mother's portrait overlooking the sick beds serves as a reminder of her legacy and commitment to improving the lives of others.
The draped picture on the wall evokes feelings of mourning and loss, highlighting the impact that Queen Alexandra's death had on those she helped through her charitable endeavors. The presence of nurses caring for the young patients further emphasizes the importance of compassionate care in times of illness.
This photograph is not just a tribute to Queen Alexandra, but also a testament to the ongoing work being done by benefactors and charities to raise money for hospitals like this one. It serves as a reminder that even in difficult times, there are always individuals willing to lend their support to those in need.
