From transporting the injured amidst chaos to tending to wounded soldiers during battles, this collection of artworks offers a poignant glimpse into the past. In "Transporting the injured to the ambulance and the queue in front of a shop, during the Siege of Paris in 1870, " we witness brave souls risking their lives to save others amid a city under siege. The urgency is palpable as they navigate through treacherous streets, embodying selflessness and dedication. Another lithograph titled "A New Kind Battle" portrays General Castelnau, commander of French armies in Lorraine, swearing by his son's corpse. This powerful image captures both grief and determination as he vows to honor his fallen child by leading his troops with unwavering resolve. Amidst war-torn landscapes, breaks emerge where humanity shines through. "The first white woman among Senussi" depicts an extraordinary encounter between cultures as compassion transcends boundaries. Similarly, "The bold and tireless activity of Italian Red Cross on Russian front" showcases heroism amidst adversity – volunteers tirelessly aiding those caught up in conflict. Traveling further back in time reveals historical healing practices at renowned institutions like Vichy's Hydrotherapy Hospital. Engravings from 1839 showcase early treatments while later photographs provide glimpses into its evolution over decades. These images remind us that even within medical settings, progress is constant. Not limited solely to military contexts or grand establishments, hospitals have long been places where royalty also extended their care. In June 1832's engraving entitled "French Queen Marie Amelie Visiting a Hospital, " Queen Elena treats wounded patients with great pity amidst ruins – her modest attire reflecting genuine empathy for those suffering.
