EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a tender moment in the world of 19th century French childrearing: a wet-nurse feeding a young child through a straw. The practice of wet-nursing, where a woman other than the mother would breastfeed an infant, was common during this era due to various reasons such as maternal illness or death, or simply to allow the mother to recover from childbirth. The use of a straw was a hygienic measure to ensure that the milk was not contaminated by the child's saliva during the feeding process. The wet-nurse, dressed in a simple but clean apron, cradles the child in her arms, while the child, clad in a white outfit, reaches out with a determined expression to take the straw from her. The scene exudes a sense of intimacy and care, as the wet-nurse ensures the health and wellbeing of the child in her charge. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of nurseries during this time, where nannies and wet-nurses played a crucial role in raising children in the absence of their mothers. This photograph, taken in 1907, is a poignant reminder of the importance of hygiene and the lengths that were taken to ensure the health and wellbeing of infants during this era.
