EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lillian D. Wald, a remarkable woman who made significant contributions to American society in the early 20th century. Created by the talented artist William Valentine Schevill in 1919, this oil painting on cardboard captures the essence of Wald's activism and humanitarian work. Wald was an influential figure in various fields, including nursing, education, and social reform. As a nurse and author, she dedicated her life to improving healthcare access for underserved communities. Her tireless efforts led her to establish the Henry Street Settlement in New York City, which provided essential medical services and educational programs to immigrants and low-income families. In this portrait, Wald exudes strength and determination as she gazes confidently at the viewer. The vibrant colors used by Schevill highlight her passion for social justice and equality. This artwork is not just a mere depiction; it represents Wald's unwavering commitment to making positive change. Now housed in the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, this piece serves as a reminder of Lillian D. Wald's enduring legacy. It symbolizes her role as a trailblazer for women's rights and an advocate for those marginalized by society. As we admire this portrait today, let us be inspired by Lillian D. Wald's indomitable spirit and continue working towards creating a more equitable world for all people - regardless of their background or circumstances.
