EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Kenny Meadows, titled "The Monthly Nurse" offers a humorous and satirical portrayal of English society in the mid-19th century. The artwork is part of a collection called "Selections from the Heads of the People, or Portraits of the English" drawn by Meadows and published around 1850. In this particular print, we see a scene set in a bedroom furnished with exquisite pieces that reflect British elegance. A lady, presumably the monthly nurse, stands beside an oversized bed adorned with luxurious bedding and upholstered goods. Her presence suggests her role as both caregiver and confidante to expectant mothers during their confinement period. Meadows' artistic style combines comic elements with sharp wit to create amusing characters that embody various personalities found within British society at that time. This engraving showcases his talent for capturing oddities and eccentricities through satire. While this artwork specifically focuses on English culture, it has also gained recognition beyond Great Britain's borders. Its inclusion in private collections across Europe highlights its appeal to audiences interested in European history and humor. "The Monthly Nurse" serves as an intriguing glimpse into 19th-century England's social dynamics while showcasing Kenny Meadows' skillful craftsmanship as an artist.
