| Wilhelmina was the first baby born with the mother having been anaesthetised by chloroform. The event earned international fame for the doctor, James Young Simpson (a friend of her father, later created a baronet). It is often reported that she was named Anaesthesia but that is wrong. However, it is understood that, in his later years, Sir James kept this photograph by his desk of Wilhelmina (then a teenager) and jokingly referred to her as "St. Anaesthesia" because of her 'saintly' pose. | |||||||||||||||
