Description Annual celebrations of Dr. Barnardo's Homes
Details

Scene from the annual celebrations of Dr. Barnardo's Homes in The Royal Albert Hall. Here in the Training Housewives display, the young women demonstrate laundry work. An exhibition of the good work of Dr. Barnardo's Homes was given every year in the Albert Hall. Thomas John Barnardo (1845-1905) is a classically Victorian figure - evangelical, entrepreneurial and philanthropic. His crusade to 'rescue children from the streets' was one the best known social interventions in the last half of the nineteenth century.
