EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the heartwarming moment between a large group of nurses and ten children at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Bournemouth during the 1930s. The scene is informal and filled with joy, as the nurses interact with their young patients, some holding toys or playing games, while others comfort and care for them. The children, of mixed ages, display a range of emotions from playful smiles to quiet contemplation. The reverse annotation on the print dates the image to the 1930s, providing a glimpse into the past of British nursing during this era. The National Health Service (NHS) was not established until 1948, yet the dedication and compassion of these nurses are evident in their care and attention to the wellbeing of their young patients. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that nurses play in providing medical treatment and emotional support to those in need, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical healthcare imagery.
