EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pencil sketch captures the tender moment between a nurse and children in the 1920s. The nurse, dressed in her traditional uniform with a wide, intricately designed headdress, exudes a sense of compassion and care. Her gentle touch and comforting presence are palpable as she interacts with the children, one of whom cradles a toy dog in his arms. The other child, with a toy dog at her feet, looks up at the nurse with a curious and trusting expression. The use of pencils adds a delicate and nuanced quality to the sketch, capturing the intricacies of the textures and details in the nurse's uniform and the children's clothing. The wide headdress of the nurse, a common feature of nursing uniforms during this era, adds an air of historical authenticity to the image. The inclusion of the toy dogs further emphasizes the theme of comfort and companionship, making this sketch a poignant reminder of the important role nurses played in providing care and comfort to children during the 1920s. This beautiful work of art, created by the skilled hand of Muriel Dawson, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the enduring bond between nurses and the children they care for.
