EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "Stationary Hospital at Poitiers, 1915," captures a poignant moment in the history of the First World War. Created by renowned French painter Henri Gervex in 1852-1929, this topographical work offers a glimpse into the daily life of a military hospital during the conflict. The image portrays a stationary hospital located in the city of Poitiers, France, which served as a vital medical facility for the Allied forces during the First World War. The meticulously rendered scene showcases the orderly organization of the hospital, with rows of white tents housing the sick and wounded soldiers. Medical personnel, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, can be seen attending to the patients, while orderlies transport supplies and equipment. The serene atmosphere is contrasted by the backdrop of the war, with the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance. The somber reality of the situation is further emphasized by the presence of a lone horse-drawn ambulance, ready to transport the injured to the hospital. Gervex masterfully captures the human spirit in the face of adversity, as the medical staff work tirelessly to care for the wounded soldiers. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the crucial role that medical facilities played in the treatment and recovery of the soldiers. This historical print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of the First World War, military medicine, or topographical art.
