EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "The Foster Mother, 1925" we are transported to a bygone era where domestic work was an integral part of daily life. The image showcases a tender moment between a young orphaned child and her foster mother, beautifully captured by Frederick Cayley Robinson. Seated in a cozy interior, the foster mother lovingly tends to her household chores while simultaneously teaching the child valuable skills. With needlework in hand, she patiently guides the little one through the art of sewing, passing down knowledge that will empower her for years to come. A basket filled with yarn and fabric rests at their feet, symbolizing both sustenance and creativity. A watchful cat perched nearby adds an element of warmth and companionship to this intimate scene. Through this snapshot in time, we witness not only the act of housekeeping but also the nurturing bond that develops within these walls. Outside the window stands a sheep accompanied by its lamb - perhaps reminding us of nature's role as provider and protector. This poignant composition reminds us that even amidst life's challenges, love can flourish within unexpected circumstances. "The Foster Mother" is more than just an exquisite print; it serves as a timeless reminder of compassion and resilience. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history so that future generations may appreciate its beauty and significance.
