EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a historical landmark in London - the Foundling Hospital. The image, originally an engraving dated back to 1751 and published by Robert Sayer, has been skillfully colorized, breathing new life into this iconic piece of artwork. The scene depicts a bustling street in 18th century London, with a large group of people going about their day. Men, women, and children can be seen walking along the road, creating a lively atmosphere. The hospital itself stands tall in the background, its grand architecture commanding attention. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the hospital's significant role as an institution for abandoned children during that time period. It served as both a medical facility and refuge for those less fortunate. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of color added to this enchanting illustration. From the cloud-dotted sky overhead to the intricate engravings on buildings' facades, each element comes together harmoniously. This print serves not only as a beautiful work of art but also as a window into London's past. It invites us to reflect on how society has evolved over centuries while appreciating the rich history that still lingers within these city streets.
