EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Captain Thomas Coram, a renowned English philanthropist and the founder of the Foundling Hospital. Engraved by Benjamin Holl and part of "The Works of Hogarth" this exquisite piece was published in 1833. In this portrait, Captain Coram exudes an air of authority and wisdom as he sits in his naval uniform. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every button meticulously engraved on his coat and every crease expertly captured. His gaze is fixed upon a globe resting beside him, symbolizing his global impact through his charitable endeavors. The artist skillfully incorporates a seascape background, reminding us of Captain Coram's connection to the sea and maritime adventures. It serves as a testament to his courageous spirit and determination in navigating uncharted waters while establishing the Foundling Hospital. This full-length portrait offers us a glimpse into Georgian England, capturing the essence of that era's fashion and style. Every brushstroke tells a story about this influential figure who dedicated himself to improving the lives of abandoned children. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this lithograph preserves not only Captain Thomas Coram's likeness but also his legacy as one of history's most compassionate humanitarians.
