EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Achille Deveria in the mid-19th century, depicts a heartwarming scene of a nurse breast-feeding a baby. The print showcases the tender and nurturing bond between the wet nurse and her little charge. Set in France during this era, it offers us a glimpse into daily life during the 19th century. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the color and essence of this historic moment. Through his mastery of lithography, Deveria brings this intimate act of allaitement (breast feeding) to life. The image speaks volumes about maternal care and highlights the importance placed on breastfeeding at that time. It serves as a reminder of how vital wet nurses were in providing nourishment for infants who could not be breastfed by their own mothers. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to an era where simplicity and human connection prevailed. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is also a testament to the timeless beauty found within everyday moments. It reminds us that acts of love and compassion have transcended centuries, leaving an indelible mark on our collective history.
