Apron Bonnet Cloak Cracker Dressed Dressing Frilly Nurse Nursing Pinafore Scrap Stick
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting late 19th century photograph captures the image of a young girl, affectionately known as 'Scrap,' dressed up as a nurse. The little girl, with a mischievous grin on her face, dons a grey and white nursing uniform complete with a red cross on her chest. She wears a long grey cloak draped over her shoulders, adding an air of professionalism to her outfit. A frilly white pinafore peeks out from under her apron, adding a touch of innocence to her appearance. The nurse's hat, or bonnet, sits atop her head, its white fabric adorned with a red ribbon and a small cracker or stick attached to it, suggesting that this may have been part of a playful game or a Halloween costume. The girl's expression and posture convey a sense of confidence and determination, as if she is ready to take on the role of a caring and dedicated nurse. This charming photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the creativity and imagination of children during the Victorian era. The intricately designed nursing uniform, with its many layers and frilly details, reflects the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. The photograph also highlights the influence of the nursing profession on children's play and dress-up activities, as they emulated the adults around them and imagined themselves in various roles and occupations.
