About This Item

[Nurses] [WWI] [Photo Album]. This photo album which dates back to 1915 depicts a crew of young women studying nursing, as well as soldiers, airplanes, and family life in locations across the USA. 184 silver gelatin photographs ranging in size from cutouts at 1.5" x 1" inches to a couple full page size 11" x 8" photos, with most around 4" x 2.5" inches. Album is 11.5" x 8.5" inches and has textured black covers and a black interior with photos adhered and a tight binding. This album depicts a young nurse that is one in a class of 14 young women who were studying nursing around the time of the First World War. They are depicted in the operating room in several photographs though most photographs display the treasured friendship these women had. One photo displays the nurses behind a sign that states "Smallpox!", which was a a recurrent and deadly public health issue throughout the first half of the 20th century and pushed many to enter the nursing field. This nurse seems to have been dating an early fighter pilot, with a few photos taken above the clouds in a WWI-era biplane. Locations span the US, from Michigan to Texas to a few photos which resemble the alpine regions of the American West. Overall in very good condition.
