This photograph is from the outstanding personal collection of Nina Gage, who headed the Yale-China Association's (then Yale-in-China) nursing education and care program at the Hsiang-ya School of Nursing from 1909-1926. Though the exact date and location of the photograph are unclear, it is likely Gage went on her travels during her years in Changsha.

Nursing was recognized as a special priority for the Yale-China Association's early health work in Hunan province as nursing had no professional precedents in Chinese society at that time. Today, Yale-China has many programs in the area of public health and nursing and continues to work closely with Hsiang-ya (now Xiangya).The photograph is a 6"x10" black and white image. Photograph comes with a custom-cut white mat for an 11"x14" frame. Frame not included.

Please note: This is a reproduction of a very old photograph and therefore might have some irregularities. We would suggest that only adds to its beauty.
