EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1830 showcases the grandeur and historical significance of The London Orphan Asylum. Located in Lower Clapton, Hackney, this architectural marvel was designed by renowned architects G. Goldringg and W. S. Isman. The South-west view depicted in the print highlights the neo-classical elements of the building, with its impressive doric columns and pediment. The London Orphan Asylum held a special place in society as a beacon of charity and welfare during Victorian times. Founded by Reverend Andrew Reed, it opened its doors to orphaned children in 1821. However, tragedy struck when an outbreak of typhoid forced the closure of the asylum in 1866. Though time has taken its toll on this historic institution, with most parts demolished in 1978, this engraving preserves its memory for future generations to appreciate. It serves as a reminder not only of the architectural beauty that once graced Hackney's streets but also of the altruism and Christian values that underpinned its existence. As we gaze upon this street scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where compassion for those less fortunate was at the forefront of society's consciousness. This print is a testament to both Georgian craftsmanship and humanity's capacity for kindness towards those who need it most. Image source: www. bridgemanart. com
