Excerpt: 

This book presents the complete range of nursing art and photo illustration, from 1893 to 2002, via the picture postcard. The images are extremely rare and beautiful and include everything: all the major art styles, actresses, royalty, cartoons, children's illustrators, propaganda, birth announcements, archetypes, nursing specialties, unusual Americana, III Reich, etc. No other book has depicted 20th century nursing with such scope and diversity.
