EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Agnes Elizabeth Jones (1832-1868), a pioneering figure in the history of nursing and social welfare. Agnes received her training at the prestigious St. Thomas Hospital in London, where she was instructed under the renowned Florence Nightingale. In 1865, Agnes was appointed as the superintendent of an experimental nursing scheme at Liverpool's vast workhouse infirmary, which was then known as the Oval. During this time, workhouses served as the primary institutions for providing assistance to the poor and destitute. The living conditions were often deplorable, and the provision of healthcare was rudimentary at best. Agnes's innovative approach to nursing in these environments brought about a significant shift in the way healthcare was delivered to the impoverished population. Her efforts led to the widespread adoption of trained nurses in workhouses, revolutionizing the way medical care was provided to those in need. Despite her groundbreaking work, Agnes's life was tragically cut short when she contracted typhus fever and passed away in 1868. Her legacy, however, lived on, inspiring generations of nurses and social welfare workers to come. This photograph, taken in 1885, serves as a poignant reminder of Agnes's invaluable contributions to the fields of nursing and social welfare during the Victorian era.
