EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Britannia, under an oak tree, receiving the proposals for the Westminster New Lying in Hospital" takes us back to 18th century Britain. The image depicts Britannia, a symbol of British patriotism and strength, standing beneath a majestic oak tree. The arms of the Earl of Percy can be seen on the trunk, representing his contribution to funding the construction of this important institution. The Westminster New Lying in Hospital was a groundbreaking maternity hospital located in Georgian London. This historical building played a crucial role in providing healthcare and medical services to expectant mothers during that era. The engraving beautifully captures the significance of this establishment within British history. The inclusion of botanical elements such as trees adds depth to the composition and highlights the importance placed on scientific methods and natural sciences at that time. It is fascinating to see how botany intertwines with medicine and healthcare in this artwork. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back to an era where physical health was valued alongside national pride. This piece serves as a reminder of Britain's rich cultural heritage while also shedding light on advancements made in medical science during that period.
