Note: Irish-born Dr. Thomas Barnardo (1845-1905) was a British champion for the care of children. When a cholera epidemic swept through London's East End, leaving 3000 people dead and many orphaned children, the young Barnardo felt an urgent need to help. He abandoned his medical training and devoted himself to helping children living in poverty after seeing young boys sleeping on roofs and in gutters. Together with his wife, he began an institution that provided education and training to orphans and eventually pioneered the concepts of group homes and foster care in England (concepts considered radical in their day). Dr. Barnardo's Home is still in operation today. Diana, Princess of Wales, was President of Barnardo's from 1984 to 1996.品相报告: Condition Report Photograph adhered to a mat, mat with toning and foxing spots. Both frames with light wear.
