EDITORS COMMENTS
The heartwarming litho print titled "London's New Year Gift to Crippled Children" captures a poignant moment in history. The image showcases the Despatch of Five Thousand Hampers from the Guildhall on New Year's Eve, as part of an initiative by Alderman Sir William Treloar, Founder of the Poor Children's Dinner Fund. In this scene, we witness the Lord Mayor proposing a Vote of Thanks to Sir William Treloar while surrounded by politicians and prominent figures such as Lord Kinnaird. The print not only highlights the generosity and compassion of Londoners but also sheds light on the plight of impoverished children during that era. It serves as a reminder that even in times when poverty was rampant, there were individuals like Sir William Treloar who dedicated themselves to improving the lives of those less fortunate. Through this illustration by Ralph Cleaver for The Illustrated London News in 1902, we are transported back in time to witness an act of charity that brought joy and hope to countless crippled children. This powerful visual representation encapsulates both the spirit and resilience of London during that period. This print is a testament to how acts of kindness can transcend time and continue to inspire generations long after they have taken place.
