EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the Lewis Carroll Cot at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London, dating back to 1900. The cot, named in memory of the beloved author of Alice in Wonderland, was just one of many sponsored by charitable benefactors for the sick children being cared for in the hospital ward.
These cots were often named after family members or other notable figures such as children's authors, reflecting a sense of comfort and familiarity for the young patients. The plaque on the wall serves as a reminder of the generosity and support from donors who made these beds possible through their donations.
Founded with a mission to provide care and healing for sick children, Great Ormond Street Hospital has been a beacon of hope for families in need. The image of this historic cot symbolizes not only the physical comfort it provided but also the emotional connection to literature and storytelling that brought joy to those who lay within its confines.
As we look back on this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of compassion and kindness that continues to define this renowned institution. The Lewis Carroll Cot stands as a testament to the power of giving and serves as a touching tribute to all those who have supported its noble cause.
