Boord van gesteven linnen, behorend bij het verpleegstersuniform van een Diacones before 1925

This is a collar from a nurse's uniform, made of stiffened linen and created by E.J. Kennedy before 1925. The collar, which is a large, curved piece of fabric, was part of the uniform worn by a Diacones, a Dutch religious order of deaconesses. The collar is made of white linen and has a simple, functional design, reflecting the importance of practicality in the work of nurses. This piece is a valuable artifact for understanding the history of nursing and the clothing worn by nurses in the early 20th century.
