This remarkable photograph from the Roel Dijkstra collection offers a rare glimpse into a neonatal ward in a hospital from the past century. A dedicated nurse tends to a newborn, surrounded by the medical technology of that era, designed to give the most vulnerable infants a chance at life.
The soft light streaming through the large windows highlights the serene and nurturing atmosphere of the ward. The incubators, equipped with round access openings, reflect a time when neonatal care was still developing but already invaluable for premature babies' survival.
This image is not only a documentation of medical history but also a tribute to the nurses and doctors devoted to caring for the smallest lives. A stunning historical piece for those interested in healthcare, heritage, and photography.
