EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Foundlings" by William Hogarth, a renowned British artist. Engraved with precision and skill by F. Morellon La Cave, this engraving beautifully captures the historical significance of the foundling hospital in London during the 18th century. Hogarth's horizontal scene depicts an emotionally charged moment within the hospital walls, where abandoned children were given shelter and care. The illustration vividly portrays the philanthropic efforts of Thomas Coram, who founded this institution to provide a lifeline for these vulnerable souls. Intricate details bring life to each character in this powerful artwork. The expressions on their faces convey both hope and despair as they navigate through challenging circumstances. Hogarth's masterful storytelling ability shines through as he highlights the plight of these foundlings while also celebrating acts of compassion that shaped society at that time. Ken Welsh's expert photography captures every nuance of this remarkable print, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical value and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon "The Foundlings" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal chapter in English history when social reform was taking shape. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility towards those less fortunate and honors the enduring legacy left behind by individuals like William Hogarth, F. Morellon La Cave, Thomas Coram, and countless others who dedicated themselves to improving lives through artistry and philanthropy.
