A Mother's Love

Published on March 8th, 2024

As we celebrate Mothering Sunday, we bring you a special selection of photographs depicting mothers with their children as photographed by Frith photographers from 1890-1940, together with some sweet, sentimental quotes about motherhood.

We hope you enjoy seeing these today, and that they bring back happy memories for you.

Haverfordwest, Fetching The Water 1890
"Mothers and their children are in a category all their own. There's no bond so strong in the entire world. No love so instantaneous and forgiving.”
Gail Tsukiyama.

Rudyard Kipling.

Karen White.
