"Alms Deeds: A Glimpse into Acts of Compassion and Hope" In the midst of despair, a woodcut from 1641 captures the outbreak of the plague in London. Yet amidst this darkness, there shines a glimmer of humanity - alms deeds. A colour litho painting takes us back to New York, where hungry children from Europe find solace in their very first lunch. The generosity extended across borders reminds us that kindness knows no boundaries. Traveling further back in time, a watercolour illuminates an illuminated miniature from the 14th century depicting St. Martin dividing his cloak. This act of selflessness resonates through centuries as a timeless symbol of charity. Jacques Denis Cochin's engraving transports us to another era, where acts of giving were celebrated and cherished by society. It serves as a reminder that compassion has always been valued throughout history. On the other hand, aerial avenues lined with elegant 200 HP vehicles are depicted in a colourful litho print. However, it is crucial not to forget those less fortunate who rely on alms for survival amidst such opulence. Ann Moore's story unfolds through a lithograph; she was known as "the fasting woman. " Her tale highlights both empathy and skepticism towards those seeking help - reminding us to approach each situation with understanding and discernment. Doctor Johnson's encounter with sleeping waifs comes alive through chromolithography - showcasing how even renowned figures recognized the importance of caring for vulnerable children during times when they needed it most. An engraving portrays a poor homeless child knocking on Dr Barnardo's door; here lies hope for abandoned souls finding refuge within these sanctuaries built upon compassion and care. A chromolitho print reveals impoverished boys enjoying Christmas feasts in London's East End - proof that even during challenging times, joy can be found when communities come together to uplift one another.
