Légende

Ruins of the Recent Fire at Ashwell, [Hertfordshire], 1850. 'It having pleased the Almighty to permit the destruction of a very large portion of this parish by fire, the charity of the Christian public is earnestly appealed to in behalf of the destitute and houseless sufferers...The buildings destroyed are, we are informed, except two cottages, fully insured. The poor labouring people, however, who have lost their furniture and clothing, have nothing to depend on but a subscription...Contributions, both in money and clothes, in relief of their urgent distress, will be thankfully received...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
