EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the era of the smallpox epidemic and the crucial role played by the Metropolitan Asylums Board. The image showcases a remarkable sight - the "Red Cross" new ambulance steamer, dedicated to transporting patients to hospital ships at Long Reach. In this engraving, we witness two significant aspects of this mobile hospital's interior. The first cabin reveals a scene bustling with activity as medical professionals attend to patients, ensuring their safe journey towards recovery. The second cabin offers a glimpse into the living quarters where patients would find solace during their voyage. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its illustrative technique but also in its portrayal of Victorian healthcare practices. It serves as a testament to an era when medical institutions like these were at the forefront of combating epidemics and providing essential care for those affected. With its retro-styled aesthetic and vintage charm, this engraved image transports us back in time while reminding us of our progress in healthcare over centuries. It is an invaluable piece that sheds light on our past struggles and triumphs against infectious diseases.
