EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment when Edward VI, the young King of England from 1537 to 1553, grants the charter to Bridewell and Bethlehem Hospitals in 1553. Painted by an anonymous English artist from the 16th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures a significant event in London's history. In this scene, we see Lord Mayor Sir George Barnes alongside aldermen of the City of London gathered around King Edward VI as he sits upon his majestic throne. The painting symbolizes compassion and social responsibility as it depicts the establishment of these hospitals for vagrants, homeless children, petty offenders, and disorderly women. The presence of Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset - a prominent figure during that time - adds further significance to this historical event. The hospitals were created not only as places for punishment but also as charitable institutions aimed at providing care for those less fortunate. The image evokes a sense of grandeur with its portrayal of regal robes worn by both King Edward VI and Lord Mayor Sir George Barnes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst royal splendor, there is always room for acts of kindness towards society's most vulnerable members. This photograph offers us a glimpse into Tudor-era England while highlighting themes such as mental health support, charity work, poverty alleviation – all crucial aspects that continue to shape our society today.
