EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a serene moment in the bustling streets of Paris during the late 19th century. In this scene, a Paris nursemaid is seen strolling along the iconic Champs Elysees, accompanied by her charges - two lively children full of youthful energy. The nursemaid's occupation is evident as she attentively carries one child while holding hands with another, ensuring their safety amidst the busy city surroundings. The image exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of French fashion at the time. The nursemaid dons a stylish dress and hat, embodying both practicality and style. Meanwhile, passersby can be seen dressed in fashionable attire, reflecting the sartorial trends of 1890s Paris. Amidst the urban landscape, nature finds its place through a beautiful tree standing tall behind them. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and natural elements adds depth to the composition. As they walk down this historic avenue lined with grand buildings and wide lanes, it becomes apparent that fresh air and exercise were valued even back then for young children's well-being. This glimpse into everyday life offers us a window into childcare practices during this era in France. Preserved through time by Ann Ronan Pictures' print collection, this photograph serves as a visual testament to not only an occupation but also to an entire epoch in history when women played crucial roles as caregivers within society's fabric.
