1870 Baby Daughter House Call Illness Injection Medicine Mother Nanny Servant Vaccination Mammy
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1870, titled "Vaccinating the Baby" we are transported back in time to witness a significant medical event. The image showcases a scene set in late 19th century America, where a young girl is being vaccinated against an illness that plagued many during that era. The composition of the print captures the complexity and emotion surrounding this momentous occasion. A concerned mother stands close by, her eyes fixed on her daughter with both anxiety and hope. A servant or nanny hovers nearby, providing support and comfort to the child as she receives the injection. A group of men can be seen observing the procedure intently - perhaps doctors or medical professionals who have come for a house call. Their presence underscores the significance of vaccination as a groundbreaking medical advancement at that time. This powerful image not only highlights the importance of medicine but also sheds light on societal dynamics prevalent during this period in American history. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of diseases through advancements such as vaccination. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this historical artifact, allowing us to reflect upon our progress while appreciating the efforts made by those who came before us in ensuring our health and well-being.
