1883 Comparing Department Distribution Feet Illustrations Measure Notes Poor Samaritan Societys Tender Turn Waiting Made
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the heartwarming scene of the London Samaritan Society distributing boots and clothing to poor children in need. The series of illustrations depict the various stages of this act of kindness, from the children eagerly waiting their turn to try on new clothes, to comparing notes with each other.
In one image, a child is seen receiving a new coat in exchange for an old one, symbolizing not just a physical change but also a sense of renewal and hope. Another illustration shows that these items are "not made to measure," highlighting the importance of providing basic necessities regardless of size or fit.
The tender feet of these underprivileged children are shown being cared for by compassionate volunteers from the society's Clothes Department. This snapshot in time serves as a reminder of the import role organizations like the London Samaritan Society played in helping those less fortunate during November 1883.
Through these powerful images, we witness firsthand how small acts of generosity can make a big difference in the lives of those who need it most. The legacy left behind by such charitable initiatives continues to inspire us today.
