1. Title: A Victorian Act of Generosity: A Ragged School Union Donation Receipt from 1894 Date: 1894 Description: This historical artifact is a receipt for a donation made to the Ragged School Union in London on May 22, 1894. The Ragged School Union was a prominent charitable organization dedicated to providing education and relief for the destitute and underprivileged children in the United Kingdom during the late Victorian era. The receipt features an elegant, embossed design with the Union's insignia, which includes a Norfolk Street address in London and the Strand, along with the Union's motto, "A General Fund for the Ragged Schools." The document bears the signature of Miss Borkin, who made the donation of £1, which was a significant sum during that time. The receipt also showcases intricate Victorian-era handwriting and a distinctive red stamp with the Union's emblem and the words "Received." The donation was made to the General Fund, which supported various charitable initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children in need. The Ragged School Union played a crucial role in the social and educational landscape of the late 19th century, providing essential services to those who were often overlooked by society. This receipt serves as a poignant reminder of the generosity and benevolence that flourished during this period, as individuals like Miss Borkin contributed to making a difference in the lives of countless children. The John Barrett Collection, from which this image is sourced, offers a wealth of historical treasures that shed light on the social, cultural, and political history of the Victorian era. This receipt, in particular, offers a glimpse into the charitable landscape of the time and the spirit of giving that defined the era.
