EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "The Toilette" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of childcare and mothering during that era. The artwork is based on an engraving by H. Burkner, derived from a painting by German artist Auguste Ludwig (1834-1901). In this tender scene, we witness a mother lovingly attending to her baby's bath time ritual. With utmost care and attention, she delicately washes her little one in a basin filled with warm water. The emphasis on hygiene and cleanliness reflects the importance placed on maintaining good health for infants during this period. Adding charm to the composition is a curious cat observing the intimate moment between mother and child. This inclusion hints at the presence of pets as valued members of family life in historical times. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction of this archival illustration allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a window into an era when mothers dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to their children's well-being. "The Toilette" print transports us back in time, evoking nostalgia for simpler days while reminding us of timeless maternal love and devotion that transcends generations.
