Les Couveuses pour Enfants a la Maternité

L’Illustration Journal Universel, Paris, January 2, 1897

The January 2, 1897 issue of L’Illustration, Paris, contained a full page article about the use of incubators at the Maternité of Paris, with engravings, by Dr. De L. Bachoué.

Catherine Rollet commented: “We believe we can recognize the head of the department, Pierre Budin, with his assistant Auguste Auvard to his right, who is examining the child, and an intern, presumably, who is holding the observation sheet. A nurse is presenting the baby, and a supervisor, in the background, is observing the scene.” — Les Prematures au XIX^E Siècle: Entre Humanisme et Technique, Érès 2013, pp. 191-220.
