Typhus ward
Typhus ward in Grace Hospital, Warsaw, Poland. Typhus is a disease associated with contact with rats. It is spread by fleas or lice and symptoms include fever and rash. There are two forms: Murine and Epidemic, with the latter being far more serious and leading to death in a significant proportion of untreated infections. Preventative measures include better sanitation and control of the rat population, and as a result of these the disease has largely died out in Western nations

Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back to the early 20th century, inside a Typhus ward at Grace Hospital in Warsaw, Poland. The image showcases the grim reality of this devastating disease and the efforts made to treat and care for its victims. Typhus, a contagious illness transmitted through contact with rats, is caused by fleas or lice. It manifests with symptoms such as fever and rash, presenting two forms: Murine and Epidemic. The latter form is far more severe and often leads to death if left untreated. In this historical snapshot, we witness patients lying in their beds while medical professionals diligently attend to them. A male nurse can be seen tending to a female patient's needs, emphasizing the gender diversity within healthcare even during that era. The monochrome composition adds depth and enhances the somber atmosphere surrounding these individuals fighting against this debilitating disorder. Behind every face lies a story of suffering but also resilience. Thanks to advancements in sanitation practices and rat population control measures implemented over time, Western nations have largely eradicated typhus today. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our battle against infectious diseases while honoring those who dedicated themselves to saving lives during challenging times. Science Photo Library continues its mission of capturing significant moments like these that contribute not only to our understanding of history but also inspire further progress in medicine and public health worldwide.
