This finely detailed engraving, The Foundling, portrays a touching domestic scene centered around the discovery or introduction of an abandoned child. Set in a warmly lit interior, a group of concerned adults gathers around a table, intently focused on a young child seated at the center. The expressions range from curiosity to compassion, emphasizing the emotional weight of the moment. The interior is richly rendered with period furnishings and thoughtful composition, characteristic of George Bernard O’Neill’s narrative style. The work reflects Victorian values of charity, morality, and communal responsibility, and is reproduced here with care and precision by engraver P. Lightfoot.
