Fine and new in decorative card cover, and with 'window' exposing the photograph of a destitute waif. A programme based on the exhibition staged by the National Portrait Gallery, London, July-November 1974. Contains two brief essays, one on Barnardo himself, and his reputation among philanthropists and knockers at the time - the other on the photographs. Most intruiging are the photos - where else would you find a photo of The Edinbugrh Castle, bought by Barnardo in 1872,and converted from a gin palace into a church mission and London's first coffe palace, before and after propaganda photos of destitute children, and a photo of one-legged men on parade. Frivolity apart a thought-provoking booklet which somehow stimulates renewed interest in reading more Charles Dickens. 7.25 x 9.5 inches. 40 pages..
