Food for the poor: a Penny Dinner Society plate (1)

The Penny Dinner Society was founded in 1884 to provide the destitute, aged and infirm poor with wholesome simple dinners for the cost of a penny. The story of the society seems to be little researched; this plate commissioned for its penny dinners must belong to the early years of the 20th century.
