The image showcases General Charles George Gordon engaging with a group of underprivileged boys in Gravesend during the Victorian era. This engraved illustration beautifully captures the essence of an important chapter in educational and social reform. The scene depicts General Gordon, known for his humanitarian efforts, imparting knowledge and wisdom upon these ragged boys who were often neglected by society. Through his teachings, he empowers them to rise above their circumstances and become kings of their own destiny. The illustrative technique employed in this engravement adds a touch of nostalgia and elegance to the artwork.
