EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of the Maternite Port-Royal, 1905" transports us back in time to early 20th century Paris. The image captures the exterior of the Maternite Port-Royal, formerly known as the Abbey of Port-Royal des Champs, which now serves as a hospital and maternity home. The composition showcases the remarkable French architecture that adorns this historic building. Its grandeur is accentuated by a beautiful garden surrounding it, adding an element of tranquility to this medical facility. The photographer skillfully captures both the architectural details and the serene ambiance of this unique setting. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of how medicine has evolved over time. This image offers a glimpse into what healthcare looked like more than a century ago – a place where expectant mothers sought care and brought new life into the world. The monochromatic tones lend an air of nostalgia to this piece, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even more. It serves as a testament to Herminie Waterneau's talent for capturing moments frozen in time. Displayed proudly in museums around Paris, such as Musee Carnavalet at Musee de la Ville de Paris, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we admire it today, let us remember those who came before us and honor their contributions to our understanding of medicine and architecture alike.
