EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the history of healthcare. Taken in 1947 at Hither Green Hospital, London, it depicts a baby nestled inside an isolation unit while being tenderly fed by a dedicated nurse. In the background, another nurse can be seen diligently sterilizing bottles, highlighting the meticulous efforts taken to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Hither Green Hospital, formerly known as Park Fever Hospital, was established in 1897 specifically for treating contagious illnesses like scarlet fever and diphtheria. This image offers a glimpse into the strict protocols followed during that era to safeguard patients from further infection. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this powerful scene. The photograph showcases not only medical science but also the compassion and dedication of these women working tirelessly to care for their young patients. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by an unknown photographer, it serves as a reminder of how far medicine has advanced over time. It also pays tribute to those unsung heroes who worked behind the scenes at Hither Green Hospital, providing comfort and healing during challenging times. This photograph is part of London County Council Photograph Library's collection held at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. Its preservation allows us to appreciate both the progress made in healthcare practices since then and honor those who paved the way for modern medicine.
