EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a tender moment in the Victorian period, as a nurse carefully weighs a baby in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The Christian missionary stands by, observing with a look of compassion and care. This image is a glimpse into the early days of healthcare in this region, showcasing the dedication and kindness of those who served as nurses and missionaries.
The scene is illuminated by an old lantern slide, adding to the historical charm of the photograph. The Edwardian era style of dress worn by the nurse and missionary further transports us back in time to an era where medical practices were much different than they are today.
In this snapshot from the past, we see not only the importance of healthcare for infants but also the impact that Christian missionaries had on communities around the world. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and global outreach efforts.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of history for us to reflect upon and appreciate. It is a testament to the selfless individuals who dedicated their lives to caring for others, even in challenging environments like Port Moresby during the Victorian period.
