EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the innovative baby incubators showcased at the Berlin Exhibition in 1896 by Dr. Lion. These artificial foster mothers were a great attraction, as they kept babies aged between five and eight months old alive in warm temperatures and nourished them with drops of milk. Dr. Lion's invention pre-dated Martin Couney's famous baby incubators and was commercially produced for supply throughout Europe and America.
The sight of these tiny infants being cared for in such a revolutionary way must have been both heartwarming and awe-inspiring for visitors to the exhibition. The importance of keeping premature babies warm and well-fed was clearly understood even back then, as evidenced by Dr. Lion's pioneering work in this field.
This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements, particularly in neonatal care. It also highlights the dedication of early pioneers like Dr. Lion who sought to improve the chances of survival for vulnerable infants through their groundbreaking inventions.
Overall, this print is not just a fascinating glimpse into history but also a testament to human ingenuity and compassion when it comes to caring for our tiniest members of society.
