A propos de cet article

London. Original hand-coloured aquatint from The Microcosm of London by Rudolf Ackermann; the leading company for the production of aquatints early in the nineteenth century. Pictured here is the dining hall of Lambeth Asylum for Female Orphans or House of Refuge, in the early years of the 19th century. The institution was founded in 1758 by magistrate John Fielding as a means to protect young orphaned and often impoverished girls from descending into a life of vice. A few closed short edge tears outside the plate mark will be hidden by a mount. £65-£95 generally asked for this print. 33 x 27 cm.
