Hospice Hospital Passers By Street Lamp
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Maternite Port-Royal, August 1886" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, this artwork showcases the Maternite Port-Royal, formerly known as the Abbey of Port-Royal des Champs. Located on boulevard de Port-Royal and rue du Faubourg Saint-Jacques in Paris, France, this building served as a maternity home or maison d'accouchement during its time. The image captures the exterior of this hospice-turned-hospital, providing a glimpse into medical practices of that era. The scene is bustling with activity as passersby stroll past the grand entrance. A street lamp illuminates their path while adding a touch of nostalgic charm to the composition. The presence of both men and women signifies that this facility catered to expectant mothers from all walks of life. With delicate pen and ink strokes combined with subtle watercolor accents on paper, this artwork beautifully portrays not only architectural details but also evokes emotions tied to childbirth and healthcare in late 19th-century France. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris - Musee Carnavalet today, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon how far we have come in terms of maternal care while appreciating the historical significance attached to such institutions.
