EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a heartbreaking moment in history - a mother abandoning her child at a convent baby wheel in 1860. The image depicts the desperation and sorrow of a mother who feels she has no other choice but to leave her baby behind, hoping for a better life for the child.
The concept of the baby wheel, also known as foundling wheels or revolving cradles, was common in Europe during this time period as a way for mothers to safely abandon their unwanted children without fear of prosecution. These wheels were often located at convents or orphanages, where infants could be left anonymously by turning the wheel and ringing a bell to alert caretakers.
In this particular photograph, we see the silhouette of the mother as she walks away from her precious bundle, leaving them in the care of strangers. The scene is filled with emotion and speaks volumes about the harsh realities faced by women and children in the past.
As we reflect on this powerful image, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and understanding towards those who find themselves in desperate situations. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come in terms of supporting vulnerable families and children in need.
