EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Les Soeurs de Lait" depicts a scene of tender care and compassion in the 19th century. Created by John Bostock, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Chefs-D Oeuvre de La Gravure Moderne" published in 1869. In this black and white illustration, we see two young girls diligently looking after a sick child. The artist beautifully captures their nurturing nature as they provide ministrations to ease the child's illness. This image speaks volumes about the importance of empathy and support during times of sickness. The engraving not only showcases the innocence and purity of childhood but also highlights the significance of medical science in combating diseases prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder that even in difficult times, there are always individuals who selflessly dedicate themselves to caring for others. Though it does not explicitly mention which ailment afflicts the child, it symbolizes various illnesses such as flu or sexually transmitted diseases that were common during that time period. The presence of Asklepios, the Greek god associated with healing, further emphasizes the theme of health and medicine depicted within this artwork. Overall, "Les Soeurs de Lait" is an evocative piece that encapsulates both historical context and timeless themes surrounding children's well-being and healthcare practices from centuries ago.
