EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Nurses and sucklings, c1300" by Hildierand, takes us back to the medieval era. The image beautifully captures a scene of nurturing and care as two women cradle their precious infants in their arms. Dressed in traditional attire of the 13th or 14th century, these nurses exude tenderness and devotion towards the children under their watchful eyes. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this enchanting engraving. Every line etched on the paper tells a story of maternal love and protection. The monochrome palette adds an air of timelessness to the composition, transporting us back centuries ago. In an age where child care was paramount but lacked modern advancements, these nurses were pillars of strength for both mothers and babies alike. Their role extended beyond mere feeding; they provided comfort during times when medicine was scarce. As we gaze upon this historical portrait, we are reminded of how far society has come in terms of childcare practices. Yet it also serves as a poignant reminder that some things remain constant throughout time - the bond between caregiver and child being one such eternal truth. Hildierand's masterpiece invites us to reflect on our own notions of motherhood, reminding us that even amidst societal changes, certain values endure across generations: love, compassion, and selfless dedication to those who depend on us most.
