Threads Of Feeling: Foundlings, Philanthropy & Textiles In 18th-Century London

Textile historian Professor John Styles, whose research underpinned our 2015 Threads of Feeling exhibition, talks about the textile tokens retained within the unique records for children admitted to the Founding Hospital.
