EDITORS COMMENTS
A Nourishing Meal for the Youngest Members of the Family: Dr. Ridges' Wholesome Food for Infants and Toddlers, 1886 This advertisement image from the late 1880s showcases a mother in a Victorian-era house, lovingly feeding her baby in a highchair. The baby, dressed in adorable clothing, appears content and well-nourished as he reaches out for a spoonful of Dr. Ridges' Wholesome Food. The mother, with a gentle smile, looks on approvingly while a housemaid in the background attentively watches over the scene. Dr. Ridges' Wholesome Food, established in 1886, was a pioneering brand that provided nutritious, cooked meals specifically designed for infants and toddlers. At a time when many parents relied on homemade or raw foods for their young children, Dr. Ridges' Food offered a convenient and nourishing alternative. The company's commitment to providing high-quality, wholesome meals for the youngest members of the family was evident in their advertising, which emphasized the importance of proper nutrition for growing infants and toddlers. The image of the mother and baby in the highchair, surrounded by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the Victorian home, conveys the sense of comfort and care that Dr. Ridges' Food provided to families during this era. The use of a doctor's name in the brand's title further underscored the trust and expertise that parents could place in the product. This advertisement is a poignant reminder of the importance of nourishing our children with wholesome foods, a value that remains relevant today.
