EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of the Royal Caledonian Orphan Asylum in Bushey, Hertfordshire, from 1908. The image shows a list of boy candidates, proposed for election for admission to the esteemed orphanage. The meticulously handwritten names and ages of the children are clearly visible, each one a testament to their unique story. The Royal Caledonian Orphan Asylum was established in 1855 to provide care, education, and welfare for children who had lost their parents in the service of the British Crown, particularly those from Scotland. The institution was renowned for its commitment to the wellbeing of its residents, offering them a safe and nurturing environment during a time of great hardship. The process of selecting new candidates for admission was an essential part of the Asylum's operations. This photograph captures the candidates' names, awaiting the decision of the election committee. The boys, likely clad in their best attire, would have been interviewed and assessed based on their age, health, and suitability for the institution. Once admitted, they would receive an education, clothing, and the opportunity to grow and thrive in a supportive community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of providing care and support for children in need. The Royal Caledonian Orphan Asylum, Bushey, played a vital role in the lives of countless children, offering them a chance at a brighter future. The list of boy candidates in this image represents the hope and promise of a new beginning for each child, and the commitment of the institution to their welfare.
