From the Paper:
"The only time-bound elements of the photograph are physical. The ideal depicted by the image is however timeless. Nursing is a science and an art acquired by thorough and excellent education. Education, like nursing, is both a science and an art.
In terms of science, the imagery is obvious. The books lining the shelves, along with the document in the professor's hands, depict the scientific element. There are very specific and concrete elements connected with nursing. Nurses need a large amount of concrete, scientific knowledge before entering the profession.
In terms of art, the aesthetic value of the picture is a complimentary depiction of the rather formidable professor and the amount of books behind her. She appears to suggest that excellence is only achieved by hard work and learning. The black and white of the picture furthermore compliments this idea."
