内容
Why are an old bent coin, a piece of ribbon and a hazelnut amongst the most treasured items in the Foundling Museum's Collection? In this in-person and online talk with Dr Janette Bright, you can learn why such items were so important in the mid-eighteenth-century Foundling Hospital when a child was admitted and why their use as identifiers declined as the century went on. You will discover how and why the tokens had to be hidden and who had access to their secrets, and how many tell us not just about individuals but about life in general at this time. The talk will also reveal the individual stories behind some foundling tokens and why some histories will always be unknown.
