EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 1930s, capturing a glimpse of the Riseley maternity home in Horton Kirby. Stepping inside, we find ourselves immersed in the interior of the wards, where expectant mothers found solace and care during this pivotal time in their lives. The monochrome tones beautifully highlight the architectural details of this early twentieth-century building. The walls are adorned with simple yet elegant décor, exuding an air of tranquility and comfort. Rows of beds and cots line the spacious ward, each meticulously arranged to accommodate both mother and child. As we examine this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to ponder on how different maternity care was during that era. The Riseley maternity home served as a sanctuary for countless women seeking support and guidance throughout their pregnancies. John Topham's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical space but also captures a sense of hope and anticipation that must have filled these halls. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance placed on maternal health even amidst challenging times between two world wars. This photograph from Europeana Photography collection offers us a unique window into an era long gone by – one that witnessed remarkable progress in healthcare while still cherishing traditional values surrounding childbirth.
