EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as King Manoel and Queen Augusta of Portugal pay a visit to the Princess Louise Military Orthopaedic Hospital at Chailey on 18 June 1918. The image, captured by renowned photographer Alfieri in the early 20th century, exudes an air of solemnity and importance. The hospital setting is filled with patients - men, women, and children - who have become casualties of war. Their presence serves as a stark reminder of the devastating toll that conflict takes on individuals and communities. Yet amidst this somber atmosphere, there is also hope and resilience evident in their faces. King Manoel stands tall beside his queen, both dressed in regal attire befitting their royal status. Their visit demonstrates not only their commitment to supporting medical advancements but also their genuine concern for those affected by war. As they tour the hospital wards, offering words of encouragement and solace to each patient they encounter, it becomes clear that these monarchs are more than just figureheads; they possess compassion and empathy for their people. Alfieri's monochrome composition adds depth to the photograph while emphasizing the gravity of the situation. This powerful image captures a significant moment in history when royalty stepped into a medical facility dedicated to healing wounded souls during times of strife.
