Red writing on white background poster for a charity collection. ‘On behalf of the deserving poor of Dublin’ ‘Support Dublin’s Oldest Charity’
Dublin’s oldest charity was founded in 1790 as The Charitable Society for the Relief of Sick and Indigent Roomkeepers of all Religious Persuasions in the City of Dublin. The founders were a group of concerned middle-class men – including a grocer, a schoolmaster and a linen-draper – who wanted to alleviate the poverty in Georgian Dublin long before any government social welfare schemes.
