EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the opening of Albany Deptford Babies Hospital in July 1933 by none other than the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth. The image showcases the elegance and grace of the royal family, with the Duchess dressed in a stylish hat and uniform befitting her position. Surrounded by healthcare professionals and adorable babies, this snapshot symbolizes both progress in medicine and compassion for children's well-being. It is a testament to the importance placed on quality healthcare during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical gem, transporting us back to London in the 1930s. The attention to detail is remarkable, from every fold on the Duchess' dress to each tiny face peering out from their cribs. As we admire this print produced for W. D. & H. O. Wills' cigarette cards collection, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and care for infants. This photo serves as a reminder that even members of royalty were dedicated to improving healthcare access for all. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past while celebrating progress made since then – not just within medicine but also regarding gender equality and social welfare initiatives.
