EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to witness a heartwarming tradition captured in this remarkable photo print. Taken in 19th century London, it showcases the annual luncheon held at the Venetian Parlour of the Mansion House. The event brings together schoolboys from Christs Hospital, a renowned charity school located within the City. In this snapshot of history, we see rows of well-dressed boys eagerly awaiting their turn to be greeted by none other than the Lord Mayor himself. Each scholar is presented with a shilling as a token of appreciation for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. To further delight their young hearts, they are also treated to buns and glasses of wine. The scene exudes an air of philanthropy and camaraderie as these fortunate children enjoy a rare moment of indulgence within these grand walls. Amidst engravings that adorn the room's interior, both male and female scholars partake in this cherished occasion. This image not only captures an important chapter in British education but also serves as a testament to Victorian-era philanthropy. It reminds us how acts of kindness can shape lives and create opportunities for those less privileged. Preserved through time by "The Illustrated London News" this photograph print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while celebrating compassion, education, and unity among generations past.
