EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken circa 1935, we find Nurse Mary Henry, a dedicated healthcare professional, surrounded by a large group of curious and joyful children in the compound of the Emir of Lagos, Nigeria. The reverse of the print reads, "In the Emir's Compound with some of his children!" Mary Henry's warm and nurturing presence is evident as she engages with the children, her interpreter by her side to facilitate communication. The children, dressed in traditional Nigerian attire, seem to be in high spirits, their eyes filled with wonder and excitement as they interact with the kind-faced nurse. This image offers a glimpse into the past, when healthcare was delivered in a more personal and community-focused way. Mary Henry, a representative of the National Health Service (NHS), brought medical care and treatment to the children of the Emir, ensuring their wellbeing and promoting good health. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of healthcare and the role of dedicated healthcare professionals like Nurse Mary Henry, who went above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of those they served. This powerful image stands as a testament to the enduring power of compassionate care and the positive impact it can have on individuals and communities.
