Cornwall / Re: CURGENVEN - anyone heard of this name ?
« on: Friday 07 June 13 15:53 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know of any image of John Brendon Curgenven (1831 - 1903) who founded the Infant Life Protection Society, please? The BBC is making a programme that would belatedly give him credit for his achievements as a social reformer who pioneered today's child protection laws. It seems astonishing that he would never have been painted or photographed, considering the eminent circles in which he lived and worked.

Thank you.

Jon
