EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that transports us to a bygone era, capturing the essence of maternal care and nurturing. Painted by Achille Deveria, this timeless artwork showcases the intimate bond between a wet nurse and her young charge. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a Victorian interior where the wet nurse sits comfortably in an ornate chair, cradling the newborn baby in her arms. The room exudes warmth and tranquility as soft light filters through delicate lace curtains, casting gentle shadows on their faces. The wet nurse's expression radiates love and tenderness as she nourishes the infant at her breast. Her eyes meet ours with unwavering dedication, embodying the selfless act of breastfeeding – an essential aspect of childcare throughout history. Deveria's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush; from the intricate folds of fabric adorning their bodies to the subtle contours of their features. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects society's reliance on these dedicated caregivers who played such vital roles during this period. "The Wetnurse" serves as a poignant reminder of both our shared human experience and our innate need for connection and support during early stages of life. It celebrates motherhood, highlighting its universal beauty regardless of time or place.
