Portrait of Captain Thomas Coram, 18th century (1844). Artist: WJ Linton
Portrait of Captain Thomas Coram, 18th century (1844). The philanthropist Thomas Coram (1668-1751) founded the Foundling Hospital after seeing the plight of children left abandoned in the streets, many of whom were young babies close to death. Poverty-stricken mothers would bring their children to the gate, and competition for places was fierce. Handel and Hogarth were also among the eminent people who took an active interest in the activities of the hospital. A print from The Illustrated London News, 4th May 1844

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Captain Thomas Coram, a remarkable philanthropist from the 18th century. In this portrait, created by WJ Linton in 1844, we see a man who dedicated his life to improving the lives of abandoned children in Britain. Captain Thomas Coram was deeply moved by the sight of destitute children left to suffer on the streets. Witnessing their desperate plight, he founded the Foundling Hospital as a sanctuary for these vulnerable young souls. The hospital became a beacon of hope for poverty-stricken mothers who would bring their infants to its gates, hoping for a chance at survival. Coram's noble efforts attracted attention from eminent figures such as Handel and Hogarth, who actively supported his cause. This print serves as a testament to their shared commitment towards alleviating suffering and providing opportunities for those less fortunate. The artist skillfully captures Coram's determined expression and compassionate gaze, reflecting his unwavering dedication to philanthropy. Through intricate engravings and monochrome tones, this portrait transports us back to an era where compassion triumphed over adversity. As we admire this historical artwork today, let us remember Captain Thomas Coram's legacy – one that continues to inspire acts of kindness and generosity across generations.
