EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1855, during a time when medical transportation was in its infancy. The image showcases the innovative New Ambulance Transport Service, which aimed to provide better care for wounded soldiers. In this scene, we witness injured British soldiers from possibly the Crimean War being transported in specially designed seats carried by mules or horses. The dedication of these animals as beasts of burden is evident as they dutifully carry their precious cargo across rugged terrain. The men seated on these makeshift ambulances are Victorian-era soldiers, their faces reflecting both pain and resilience amidst the horrors of war. Published in The Illustrated London News, this engraving captures a significant moment in history when concepts like ambulance transport were just beginning to emerge. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and care for those injured on the battlefield. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, our minds wander to the brave individuals who risked their lives fighting for their country during that tumultuous period. This poignant snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten – an era defined by sacrifice, courage, and progress in healthcare practices.
