EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1889 showcases the whimsical illustration skills of Paul Heydel. Titled "Kinder-Waerterin" or nanny, this artwork depicts a unique twist on traditional childcare methods. In the image, we see a female cyclist confidently riding a pushchair that resembles a bicycle. This innovative contraption allows her to transport not only herself but also two babies comfortably seated in the pushchair. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the motion of the wheels and the determination on the nanny's face. The scene is set against a backdrop of what appears to be an idyllic countryside, with rolling hills and trees adding depth to the composition. The inclusion of a feeding bottle hanging from one side of the pushchair adds an element of humor and practicality. Heydel's satirical cartoon brings together elements of transportation, childcare, and sport in an unusual yet charming manner. It offers us a glimpse into how people in late nineteenth-century Germany may have envisioned alternative means for transporting infants while incorporating elements of physical activity. Overall, this engraving serves as both an artistic representation and historical artifact that highlights societal norms surrounding childcare during this period.
