Description: | The banner would have been carried by children from the Jews' Hospital and Orphan Asylum (later Norwood) at processions and parades. The governors of Norwood commissioned several banners like this; we know that this one must date from before 1928 because that was when the name of the Jews' Hospital and Orphan Asylum was officially changed to 'Norwood'. The writing on this banner reads: 'Jews' Hospital and Orphan Asylum. Leave thy fatherless children, we will preserve them alive, And let thy widows trust in Me. Jer XLIX.II' The last section is a quote from the Biblical book of Jeremiah. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Norwood | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
