Christmas Card by Coralie Bickford-Smith

A Token of Love and Hope (2018)

In addition to the lamb from the Foundling Hospital's coat of arms, Bickford-Smith's design includes references to the Foundling Museum's eighteenth-century 'tokens'. These small everyday objects were left by mothers with their babies as a form of identification, should they ever return to claim their child. As such, the tokens are a powerful symbol of love and hope, and find resonance with the Christmas story. 

All proceeds support the work of the Foundling Museum.

Pack of 8 cards with envelopes.

Inside message: Season's Greetings
