EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is the front cover of The Graphic, a renowned illustrated weekly newspaper from August 1, 1891. The illustration, created by W. Small, showcases a significant moment in British history at Marlborough House in London. At the center of the image, we see H.R.H. Princess Alexandra, Princess of Wales, presenting certificates to a group of nurses. Princess Alexandra, who was the wife of the future King Edward VII, was a passionate advocate for nursing and healthcare. She had established the Royal National Pension Fund for Nurses in 1887 to provide financial support for nurses who had fallen on hard times. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, looks on approvingly as his wife presents the certificates. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the elegant interiors of Marlborough House providing a fitting backdrop for this moment of generosity and compassion. The engraving captures the essence of the late 19th century, with its formal attire, intricate details, and the sense of tradition and dignity that characterized the British monarchy during this period. The image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Royal Family's commitment to healthcare and social welfare, and the vital role that nurses played in shaping the future of the medical profession. The Graphic's coverage of this event not only highlights the importance of nursing and healthcare during this era but also underscores the significant role that the press played in shaping public opinion and promoting social reforms.
