EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a poignant moment in the history of philanthropy, featuring Thomas Coram (1668-1751), the visionary founder of the Foundling Hospital in London. Surrounded by children, Coram is depicted in deep conversation with the renowned artist William Hogarth (1697-1764) and the French engraver Jean-Baptiste Greuze's representative in England, Jean-Baptiste Dutillois (1703-1748). The trio's intense focus on the button given to Coram by a young girl, who stands before them, underscores the significance of this simple token as a symbol of hope and the promise of a better future for the children of the Foundling Hospital. Thomas Coram, a man of great benevolence and compassion, dedicated his life to the care and education of abandoned children. In 1739, he successfully petitioned King George II to establish the Foundling Hospital, which would become the first institution of its kind in England. The hospital provided shelter, food, and education to thousands of children, giving them a chance at a brighter future. William Hogarth, a celebrated artist of the time, was a strong supporter of Coram's cause and played a vital role in raising awareness and funds for the Foundling Hospital through his art. Jean-Baptiste Dutillois, an influential figure in the art world, helped bring international attention to the hospital and its mission. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of compassion, collaboration, and the belief that every child deserves a chance at a better life. The smiles on the faces of Coram, Hogarth, and Dutillois convey the hope and optimism that fueled their efforts to make a difference in the lives of countless children.
