Aids Diseases And Viruses Health Hospital Nurse 1986
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this powerful print captured by Doreen Spooner, we see Nurse Deirdre McHugh standing proudly at Whipps Cross Hospital in 1986. Her determined expression and the stethoscope around her neck hint at the immense dedication she possesses for her noble profession. However, what makes this image truly remarkable is the reason behind Nurse McHugh's departure from her familiar surroundings. This photograph marks a significant moment in history as Nurse Deirdre McHugh prepares to embark on a journey across the Atlantic to work with AIDS victims in the United States. The year is 1986, a time when HIV/AIDS was shrouded in fear and misinformation, causing widespread panic and discrimination against those affected by the disease. Nurse McHugh's decision to leave everything behind and offer her expertise to help those suffering from AIDS showcases not only her exceptional compassion but also highlights the urgent need for healthcare professionals during that tumultuous era. With courage in her heart and unwavering determination, she sets off on an arduous mission of providing care, comfort, and hope to individuals battling this devastating illness. Doreen Spooner's poignant capture immortalizes Nurse Deirdre McHugh's selflessness while reminding us of both the challenges faced by medical practitioners during that time period and society's evolving understanding of diseases like HIV/AIDS. This photograph stands as a testament to all healthcare heroes who have dedicated their lives to saving others amidst adversity.
