EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour litho print captures a humorous scene from the early 20th century, depicting a husband and wife discussing the hiring of a pretty nurse for their children. The couple is seen deep in conversation, with the wife looking slightly amused at her husband's suggestion. The postcard reflects the societal norms and values of the time, where having police protection for their children was considered important enough to warrant hiring a nurse specifically chosen for her looks. The juxtaposition of beauty and security adds an element of light-heartedness to the image, making it both amusing and thought-provoking. The colourful composition and detailed portrayal of the characters bring this scene to life, offering a glimpse into a bygone era where family dynamics and childcare practices were quite different from today. The inclusion of humour in this artwork adds depth to its narrative, inviting viewers to reflect on how perceptions of safety and protection have evolved over time. Overall, this print serves as a delightful reminder of days gone by while also sparking contemplation on themes such as gender roles, parenting styles, and societal expectations. It is sure to evoke smiles and perhaps even some nostalgic reflections on the changing nature of family life.
