Abandoned Adoption Babies Boom Community Foundling Foundlings Held Holds Nurse Possibly Prospective Welfare Adoptive
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing two National Adoption Society babies being lovingly held by a nurse. The image evokes a sense of community and welfare as the nurse cares for these precious foundlings who were likely abandoned and in need of a home.
In the background, we see another woman, possibly a prospective adoptive mother, holding one of the baby's hands. Her expression is filled with hope and longing as she looks at the child she may soon call her own. This scene speaks to the heart-wrenching reality faced by many children in the 1930s who were left without families but found solace in organizations like the National Adoption Society.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, shedding light on an era when adoption was not widely accepted or understood. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of child welfare and societal attitudes towards adoption.
As we gaze upon this touching image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength displayed by both the children and adults involved in this process. It is a testament to the power of love and compassion that transcends time and continues to shape our understanding of family today.
