EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the distribution of prizes to ragged-school pupils at Exeter Hall, Strand, London. The image showcases the grandeur of the hall's architecture, with its towering columns and intricate details. It is evident that this event held great importance as a large crowd gathers eagerly to witness the occasion. The focus of the image lies on the group of pupils who are being awarded their well-deserved prizes. Dressed in humble clothing, they stand proudly before an esteemed panel, their faces beaming with joy and gratitude. This scene symbolizes hope and opportunity for these underprivileged children who have been given a chance to better themselves through education. The date etched below reveals that this heartwarming event took place on 18th April 1868. It is fascinating to imagine how this gathering must have inspired not only those present but also countless others who would come across this illustration in The Illustrated London News. This print serves as a reminder of Lord Shaftesbury's tireless efforts towards improving conditions for the less fortunate during the 19th century. His dedication to establishing ragged schools provided education and support for impoverished children like those depicted here. As we gaze upon this historic engraving from our private collection, we are reminded of the power of compassion and education in transforming lives.
