EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Soldiers' Infant Home, Roslyn-Park, Hampstead, London, 1856," showcases a remarkable institution dedicated to the care of infants whose soldiers' mothers had passed away, leaving them without protection. Rosslyn House, an extensive structure, is beautifully situated amidst shrubberies and gardens, providing a nurturing environment for these vulnerable children. In the circular room, forty or fifty little girls are seen under the watchful care of a school-mistress. Their rosy faces radiate a sense of wonder and neatness, dressed in their scarlet frocks and lilac pinafores. These children, rescued from great poverty and neglect, will be reared in habits of industry. The majority of them will be instructed in the duties of female domestic servants, while the more intelligent will be trained as pupil teachers in the educational department of the establishment. This evocative engraving, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1856, offers a glimpse into the social fabric of the Victorian era. The Soldiers' Infant Home, a beacon of hope and compassion, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who sought to improve the lives of the less fortunate. The photograph, taken in the nineteenth century, captures the exterior of the institution with remarkable detail, revealing the architectural grandeur and picturesque surroundings of the Roslyn-Park Home for Soldiers' Infants in Hampstead, London.
