EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of urgency and action on the Western Front in the late 19th century. The image, taken by British School photographers Gibson & Sons of Scilly, shows a figure being carried up quayside steps on a stretcher. The scene is filled with tension as we witness a potential accident or injury unfolding before our eyes.
The small size of the glass print (8.2x10.2 cm) adds to the intimacy and immediacy of the moment, drawing us in to observe every detail. The National Maritime Museum in London houses this historical artifact, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when boats were crucial means of transport along coastlines. The injured man on the stretcher serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those who worked and traveled by sea during this era.
Through this image, we catch a glimpse of life in 19th century Britain – a time of innovation, exploration, and sometimes perilous journeys. It is both a window into history and an invitation to reflect on how far we have come in terms of transportation safety and technology.
