Makes sense. Not everyone would really need to do something like this so there probably wouldn't be as much demand for a full-on fixture. Besides, if you can get by with just a thing of cardboard and a clip then you don't really need to pay extra for a more proper device, right?

According to my Grandmother, that was in fact a practice of nurses. But cardboard was not used. When my Great Grandmother got very sick and a nurse was needed at the house for a time, what was used was a spare pillow case folded in half and then pined on the lap shade with a cloths pin. Hope this sheds some light on the subject (pun completely intended)

@@targetedindividual7931 well...the idea is "anything" just use anything. And just being from another hospital from having another kid...i notice that every time i was in a hospital at night, there are dimmed lights close to and around the patient. They didn't have dimmers back then..and even at home, growing up in the 90s, my family used things like sheets, paper, books etc, to make a lamp not so bright. Not something I personally would remember enough to put in a movie if I were to direct one. So maybe it's a culmination of a lot. Lights for the shot and dimming for the patient...AND it was forgotten to be moved for certain shots

This is interesting because I work in the hospital and do something like this when i have to sit with a patient over night. We are not suppose to have any lights on but sitting in the dark for hours on end will make you fall asleep. So if there is a lamp in the room I will tape a cross word puzzle book cover on the lamp shade to block the light from the patient. Then I can read a book or what ever. I dont know if this is something they did back in the day but it is something that i do.

We grew up in an old house and the way some of the wall were, the staircase, etc just "didn't make sense" when I would compare them to newer homes. My parents used to say, "the people in the 1850's didn't build this house for someone in the 1990's" and I think that logic can be applied here. Yes, it's a piece of cardboard and looks out of place to us but to the audience this movie was made for, this would have made perfect sense to them. We can't judge the past based on our modern perception of reality when they didn't live in that reality.

Exactly. Looking at any history through a present day lense will always lead to a bad interpretation of facts. I'm thinking of these so-called 'time travellers' in Charlie Chaplin movies. We've lost the historical context, but that doesn't mean there's some grand conspiracy hiding in plain sight. And in a hundred years, future generations will look at our media, and try to work 'what hell were we thinking doing such-and-such...'
