This print takes us back in time to the year 1513, offering a glimpse into the world of childbirth during that era. The image showcases an intimate scene where a woman is being assisted by two midwives as she sits on a birth chair, preparing to bring new life into the world. The midwives, dressed in traditional attire, exude an air of expertise and compassion as they support the expectant mother through this transformative experience. Their presence brings reassurance and comfort amidst what must have been a challenging moment for the woman. The composition of this photograph captures not only the physical aspect of childbirth but also highlights the emotional connection between these three women. It serves as a testament to the strength and resilience exhibited by mothers throughout history.
