[Published by Thomas Palser]
Scarce etching with engraved lettering, sheet 465 x 320mm (18¼ x 16½"). Trimmed close to image on right side. Some time staining. Remnants of some prints glued to the reverse.
Henry Aston Barker (1774-1856), spent months in Constantinople making sketches and studies before his drawings were translated into two paintings produced in collaboration with his father Robert Barker. When the painting was finished it measured 10,000 square feet, and was displayed in the lower circle of Robert Barker’s celebrated ‘Panorama’. This was a purpose-built cylindrical building in the heart of Soho where spectators could enjoy the experience of being enveloped in a massive all-embracing view. Visitors were given a circular orientation key diagram to the panorama painting to identify key signs and locations.

It was a children's home established for the 'education and maintenance of exposed and deserted young children.' The artist William Hogarth was a friend of Coram's and later a governor of the institution. Handel donated an organ to the chapel and gave performances of the 'Messiah' on it, raising £7,000. Coram sits surrounded by emblems representing his mercantilist and philanthropic activities, including a scroll lettered "The Royal Charter" for the hospital. The charter was signed in 1739, and the hospital started receiving children at the end of 1745. After William Hogarth (1697 - 1764).
