The image showcases the remarkable Georgian architecture that defined this charitable institution founded by Thomas Coram in 1739. With its grandeur and elegance, it stands as a testament to both architectural excellence and humanitarian efforts. The Foundling Hospital was established with a noble purpose - to provide care and shelter for orphaned children or "foundlings". This print serves as a poignant reminder of the countless lives that were touched by this institution throughout history. The intricate details depicted in this engraving allow us to marvel at the craftsmanship involved in creating such an impressive structure.
