EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil drawing, entitled 'A Flower Concert for Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital,' dates back to the 1890s and was created by the renowned artist Phil May. The sketch, which showcases a lively and colorful flower concert, was arranged to publicize an event aimed at raising funds for the esteemed Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. In the heartwarming scene, we see Miss Ada Payne, the arranger of the concert, tenderly hugging a sick child as she holds a bouquet of flowers. Phil May's deft use of pencil captures the emotion and compassion that was at the core of this charitable endeavor. The child, with a look of wonder and delight, returns the artist's hug, symbolizing the healing power of love and community. The Flower Concert was an innovative way to bring people together to raise awareness and funds for the hospital, which provided essential care and treatment for children suffering from various illnesses. The event, which was likely held in the late 1800s, was a testament to the generosity and kindness of the community, who came together to make a difference in the lives of sick children. This historical drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the power of art and community in raising awareness and funds for important causes. It is an invaluable piece of history that sheds light on the early days of charitable events and the compassionate spirit of those who came before us. The legacy of the Flower Concert lives on, inspiring us to continue supporting the vital work of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and other organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children in need.
