EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, dated 1781, depicts St. Katharine's Hospital, a historic institution located in the parish of St. Botolph without Aldgate, near the Tower of London. The hospital was founded around 1148 by Matilda, the wife of King Stephen, as a place of refuge for a master, brethren, sisters, and thirteen poor persons. Over the centuries, the hospital grew in size and significance, eventually becoming the Royal Hospital and Collegiate Church of St. Katharine by the Tower. The early history of St. Katharine's Hospital is shrouded in legend, with some accounts attributing its founding to Queen Matilda's miraculous escape from a fire that destroyed the nearby Priory of St. Katharine in 1136. Regardless of its origins, the hospital quickly gained a reputation for its charitable work, providing shelter, food, and medical care to the poor and needy. The hospital's location near the Tower of London, a symbol of royal power and authority, also contributed to its status as a royal foundation. Over the centuries, it was supported by successive monarchs, who granted it various privileges and endowments. The hospital's master and brethren were responsible for its administration, while the sisters provided care for the sick and the thirteen poor persons were given a stipend to live in the hospital. This engraving provides a glimpse into the past, offering a visual record of St. Katharine's Hospital as it appeared in the late 18th century. The building's Gothic architecture, with its pointed arches and intricate stonework, reflects the hospital's long and storied history, while the figures of the master, brethren, sisters, and poor persons gathered in the foreground remind us of the institution's enduring mission to provide care and support to those in need.
