EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Matron and servant in the sick-chamber, c1470" takes us back to a bygone era. The scene depicts Tobit, a blind man lying in bed, being attended to by two women. The attention to detail is remarkable; one woman sits near the fireplace where a cooking pot hangs on an adjustable ratchet, while the other holds a dish. The image is part of the book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. It offers us a glimpse into the domestic life of the fifteenth century - their architecture, clothing styles, and daily activities. The composition exudes tranquility as it captures not only the physical environment but also emotions such as care and concern for Tobit's well-being. The presence of religious undertones adds depth to this intimate moment within the sick-chamber. Emily Jessie Ashdown skillfully brings this historical scene to life through her artistic interpretation. With Guyart des Moulins' original manuscript serving as inspiration for this print collector's work, we are transported back centuries ago when nursing was an essential aspect of healthcare. This monochrome photograph serves as both an educational tool and a piece of art that invites contemplation about our own understanding of medicine and caregiving throughout history.
