EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Joy and Love: A Christmas Scene at Evelina Children's Hospital, Southwark, London (1869-2005) Christmas comes but once a year, and for the children at Evelina Children's Hospital, this special time of the year is made even more magical by the visit of their loved ones. In this heartwarming scene from the late 1880s, a sick little girl is surrounded by the comforting presence of her mother and younger sister. Dressed in their finest Victorian attire, they bring with them a sense of joy and hope, as they share moments of love and laughter, despite the harsh realities of illness and treatment. Founded in Southwark, London, in 1869, Evelina Children's Hospital has a rich history of providing care and support to young patients. This image captures a poignant moment in time, as the hospital, which became a branch of Guys Hospital in 1948, was still in its original building. The new Evelina Children's Hospital, opened in 2005, now stands next to St Thomas' Hospital, offering state-of-the-art facilities and a welcoming environment for children and their families. As the mother and sister engage with their sick child, they bring a sense of normalcy to her world. The girl's bedside table is adorned with a chart, a medicine box, and a tray filled with small toys and presents. Her sister holds a doll, while her mother wears a hat and jacket, reflecting the chilly December air outside. The scene is filled with the warmth of family, the promise of the new year, and the enduring spirit of the holiday season. This image, a reminder of the importance of love and care during times of illness, is a testament to the history and mission of Evelina Children's Hospital. As we celebrate the festive season, we are reminded of the power of family, the strength of the human spirit, and the hope that lies within each of us.
