Last night's edition of BBC's The ONE Show included a feature on the history of midwifery.
Filmed in the Medicine Man gallery of Wellcome Collection, the sequence featured an interview with Prof Elaine Hobby (Loughborough University), who illustrated her account of the changes in practice with the Wellcome Library's copy of Jane Sharp's The Midwives Book.
The episode is available for viewers in the UK for the next seven days through the BBC iPlayer.
