EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a tender moment between a loving Nanny and her young charge from the late 19th century. The black-and-white photograph, preserved by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era when the role of the nanny was an essential one for the affluent classes. The Nanny, dressed in her traditional uniform of a high-necked blouse, long skirt, and apron, cradles the infant gently in her arms. Her expression is one of deep affection and concern, her eyes fixed intently on the baby's face. The baby, swaddled in soft layers and wearing a tiny cap, gazes back at the Nanny with trust and contentment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the intimate relationship between the Nanny and the infant, a bond that was crucial in the absence of the mother. Nannies were often employed from the age of a few months, and they were responsible for the care, feeding, and education of the children. They were considered an essential part of the household staff and were highly valued for their skills and dedication. The photograph also speaks to the social history of the time, reflecting the changing role of women in society and the growing importance of the middle class. The affluent classes could afford to employ Nannies and other domestic help, freeing up the mothers to focus on their own social and domestic duties. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, a time when the role of the Nanny was a vital one in the lives of many families. It invites us to reflect on the importance of caregivers in our own lives and the profound impact they have on the development and wellbeing of the young.
