EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in London's East End, as Prince Albert lays the foundation stone of the Strangers Home for Asiatics, Africans, and South Sea Islanders on May 31st, 1856. The charitable foundation was built by missionary societies to provide temporary accommodation and food for foreign sailors who found themselves stranded in the bustling port city.
The image shows a large crowd gathered around Prince Albert as he participates in the ceremony, with a banner above them bearing the biblical quote "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers" from Hebrews 13:2. This powerful message underscores the importance of compassion and hospitality towards those in need, regardless of their background or nationality.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of philanthropy and community support that continues to shape our society today. The blend of historical significance, cultural diversity, and royal presence captured in this image is truly timeless and serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity.
