EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FVQ-F-151943-0000" by Yokohama School (attr. ) takes us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically around 1860-1870. The image showcases a young Japanese nurse, her presence exuding both grace and maturity beyond her years. Dressed in traditional attire, this adolescent nursemaid stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Her clothing reflects the fashion and style of that era, with intricate details and vibrant colors adding depth to the portrait. An umbrella rests gently on her shoulder, serving not only as an accessory but also providing protection from the elements. The photograph captures more than just physical appearance; it delves into the physiological and psychological aspects of this individual's life. As a wet nurse or nursemaid, she would have played a crucial role in caring for infants and children within her community. This profession required immense skill and dedication, highlighting both her work ethic and vocation. Beyond its historical significance, this image offers insights into Japan's modern history – shedding light on the lives of its people during that period. It serves as a window into anthropology, ethnography, folklore – revealing how different populations lived their daily lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait of a child turned caregiver, we are reminded of our shared humanity across time and cultures. The photographer has masterfully captured not only an exquisite moment frozen in time but also an enduring symbol of strength amidst tradition.
