EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of connection between Dr. N.P. Jewell and his beloved family during his service in East Africa during World War I. The image, sent from the Seychelles in 1915, shows Dr. Jewell's wife Sydney, dressed in a wide-brimmed hat, sitting with their three children: John, Norman, and Norah. The boys, John and Norman, are dressed in sailor suits, while Norah, the youngest girl, is dressed in a simple dress. The family is seated in a lush garden, surrounded by lush greenery and the vibrant colors of the Indian Ocean in the background. The serene scene contrasts sharply with the turmoil of the war, which was raging thousands of miles away. Dr. Jewell, a dedicated medical professional, would have been deeply missed by his family during his absence. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by families during wartime, as well as the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The photograph, from The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the lives of a family separated by war, yet bound together by love and the hope of a reunion. The image is a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the historical events of the First World War.
