Just cleaning out my emailbox a bit more and recalling an online discussion back in February in various fora (Twitter, Classics list, elsewhere) about images of ancient childbirth/midwives. It resulted in a nice blog post by Caroline Lawrence:

• Historical Detectives & Social Networking

… and I just put together what I hope is an incipient page of such images at Pinterest:

• Ancient Images of Childbirth

… please let me know if you have some that I’ve missed …

[tip o’ the pileus, by the way, to Terrence Lockyer, whose emails seem to be the ones I’ve saved on this]
