EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the Hospital for Sunstruck Patients in New York City, as depicted in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper from August 1870. The scene shows a man being stretchered into the hospital located on Centre Street, near City Hall Park.
The image transports us back to the 19th century, a time of rapid industrialization and urban growth in America. The hospital appears old and run-down, reflecting the challenges faced by medical facilities during this period.
The detailed drawing evokes a sense of urgency and concern as we witness the man being brought in for treatment. His vulnerability is palpable, reminding us of the harsh realities faced by individuals suffering from sunstroke in an era before modern medical advancements.
Through this artwork, we are given a glimpse into the past and invited to reflect on how far healthcare has come since then. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the importance of compassion and care for those in need.
Ken Welsh's skillful engraving brings this historical moment to life with striking clarity and emotion. It is a testament to his talent as an artist and his ability to capture both the physical details and emotional depth of such scenes from our collective past.
