Old portrait. Cutting edge ideals.

Eglantyne Jebb founded Save the Children in 1919. She was a rabble rouser idealist who was jailed for helping children yet her portrait made her look frail. We changed that.

To celebrate International Women's Day we wanted to highlight how incredible our founder Eglantyne Jebb was. And create a portrait that showed her strength, resilience and love of children. It hangs in every Save the Children office.

Artist Sam Rodriquez collaborated and the New York Times featured it.

Historical research, modern technique and colors.

“She co-founded the organization after she was outraged to learn that children were starving after World War I, when the British blocked aid to several countries.”
