Group of Children in the Royal Caledonian Asylum - from a painting by Mr. Wighton, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Group of Children in the Royal Caledonian Asylum [in London] - from a painting by Mr. Wighton, 1858. The object of the institution is the maintenance and education of the children of soldiers, sailors, and marines, natives of Scotland, who have either died or been disabled in the service of their country...At present there are sixty-seven boys and forty-nine girls in the asylum, many of whom are the sons and daughters of the brave Scottish soldiers who so nobly fought and died during the late Russian war...There is here represented a very touching picture of a little orphan boy, about five years of age, who has recently been placed in the Asylum. He appears to have just returned from the childlike occupation of gathering wild flowers, and to have attracted the attention of an elder boy and two girls who stand around him, and seem to contemplate his youthful appearance with feelings of sympathy and admiration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment of tenderness and compassion among a group of children residing at the Royal Caledonian Asylum in London, as depicted in a painting by Mr. Wighton in 1858. The Royal Caledonian Asylum was established to provide for the maintenance and education of Scottish children who had lost their parents in the service of their country, either through death or disability. At the time of this painting, there were sixty-seven boys and forty-nine girls in the asylum, many of whom were the offspring of the brave Scottish soldiers who had valiantly fought and sacrificed their lives during the late Russian war. In this heartwarming scene, a young orphan boy, around five years old, is depicted returning from his childlike pursuit of gathering wild flowers. He is surrounded by an elder boy and two girls, who seem to be contemplating his youthful appearance with feelings of sympathy and admiration. The tender interaction between the children highlights the nurturing and supportive environment that the Royal Caledonian Asylum provided for its residents. This poignant image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Scottish soldiers and their families during times of war and the importance of institutions like the Royal Caledonian Asylum in providing for their children's wellbeing.
