Nurse Scales Weighing Weight Wicker
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A 1930s Nurses' Station: Weighing a Baby in a Wicker Basket This evocative photograph captures a tender moment at a nurses' station from the 1930s. The image focuses on a nurse, her expression calm and attentive, as she carefully weighs a baby in a wicker basket on a set of old-fashioned scales. The baby, swaddled in layers of soft fabric, gazes up at the nurse with curious eyes, seemingly unaware of the proceedings. The scene is set in a modest, yet functional nurses' station. The room is filled with the gentle hum of conversation and the soft rustle of paper. Shelves lined with medical supplies and files create a sense of order, while a small window lets in a soft, natural light. The worn wooden floorboards and peeling wallpaper add to the nostalgic charm of the image. The use of a wicker basket to transport and weigh the baby was a common practice during this era. Wicker baskets were lightweight, breathable, and easy to carry, making them an ideal choice for transporting newborns. The scales, with their intricate design and brass accents, exude an air of tradition and reliability. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the simple joys and everyday routines of the 1930s. It also highlights the important role that nurses played in the lives of new families, providing care and support during the early days of their children's lives. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and poignant representation of the bond between a nurse and a newborn, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the history of childcare practices.
