EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, captures the tender moment between Victorian nurse, Mrs. Hugounet, and baby Cedric as they stand in a beautiful garden setting. The image, part of The Japics Historic Photography Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the warmth and care that defined the role of nurses during this era. Mrs. Hugounet, a plump and nurturing figure, is dressed in her full nursing uniform, complete with a starched apron, pinafore, and a neat cap adorned with a red cross. Her expression is one of deep affection and concern, as she cradles baby Cedric in her arms, his tiny hands reaching up to grasp her fingers. The baby, dressed in a white onesie and knitted cap, gazes up at his caregiver with innocent curiosity. The garden backdrop, filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the scene. It's a reminder of the importance of nature and fresh air in the care of young children during this time. Nurses like Mrs. Hugounet played a crucial role in the upbringing of children, particularly those from affluent families, who employed live-in nannies and nurses to care for their offspring. Their duties ranged from feeding, bathing, and clothing the children to teaching them basic skills and providing emotional support. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the deep bond between caregivers and their charges during the Victorian era, and the importance of nurturing and love in the early years of a child's life.
