EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing piece of history: an advertisement for W. Bothams improved infants feeding bottle, dating back to 1866. The photograph captures a glimpse into the past, offering us a window into the world of child-rearing during that era. Manufactured and sold by the patentee himself, William Botham, this innovative feeding bottle was undoubtedly considered revolutionary at the time. The image transports us to 19 Old Haymarket in Sheffield, where Botham's business thrived. This quaint corner of Yorkshire became synonymous with cutting-edge infant care thanks to his remarkable invention. The advertisement proudly proclaims its superiority over traditional methods of feeding babies, promising convenience and efficiency for parents. Preserved within Sheffield Local Studies Library's archives, this original artifact holds immense historical value. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that flourished in Sheffield during the late 19th century. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of childcare practices and technological advancements since then. Yet it is crucial not to overlook or dismiss these early innovations; they laid the foundation for our modern understanding and approach towards nurturing infants. Let this image be a reminder of our ancestors' dedication to improving their children's well-being—a timeless pursuit shared by parents across generations—while also appreciating how much progress has been made along the way.
