This engraving from the late 19th century depicts the dramatic scene of the restoration of a person who appears to have drowned or suffocated. The detailed illustration showcases a group of individuals coming together to provide aid and assistance in saving a life. The image captures the urgency and intensity of the situation, with one figure administering Silvester's method - a life-saving technique used for resuscitation in cases of drowning or suffocation. The engraver has skillfully depicted the tension and determination on the faces of those involved in this crucial rescue mission. In an era before modern medical advancements, this engraving serves as a historical reminder of the importance of quick thinking and action in times of crisis. It highlights the significance of proper training and knowledge in providing effective help to those in need.
