EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Opening of the New Infant Orphan Asylum at Wanstead, meeting the Company at the Gate" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases an architectural marvel - the newly constructed Infant Orphan Asylum in Wanstead, London. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, our attention is drawn to a group of individuals eagerly awaiting the arrival of an important company. The gate stands tall and sturdy, symbolizing hope and protection for those within its walls. It serves as a threshold between past hardships and future possibilities. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as children from all walks of life gather alongside caretakers and officials. Their faces reflect both excitement and trepidation as they prepare to embark on a new chapter within these orphanage walls. This powerful illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 1st, 1843. Its purpose was not only to document this grand opening but also to shed light on the plight of infant orphans during that era. Today, this print serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion and resilience amidst adversity. It invites us to reflect upon how society has evolved since then while reminding us that there are still countless vulnerable children who need our support today.
