EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the sign of the cradle. 18 November 1919" captures a charming scene from the early 20th century in Europe. Taken by renowned photographer Alfieri, this image showcases an unusual sign outside a domestic setting. The photograph features two nurses or nannies engrossed in play with a group of adorable babies. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the large wooden cradle-shaped sign hanging above them, which adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. It serves as both an eye-catching decoration and perhaps a symbol for their profession. The nurses appear to be enjoying their time outdoors, surrounded by prams filled with content infants. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the vintage feel of this snapshot from November 18,1919 – capturing an era known for its distinctive fashion and societal norms. This glimpse into everyday life during that period offers us insight into how childcare was managed back then. Alfieri's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the playful interaction between caregivers and children but also provides a window into historical practices surrounding child-rearing at that time. This photograph invites viewers to reflect on how our approach towards parenting has evolved over decades while reminding us of timeless moments shared between caretakers and little ones alike.
