EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Women's Mission during the Crimean War, engraved by JA Vinter and printed by Day & Son in vibrant color lithography. The image is part of the Florence Nightingale Museum collection in London, UK. The photograph captures a poignant moment of compassion and dedication as a female nurse tends to a wounded soldier in a military hospital. The scene exudes an atmosphere of care and empathy, with straw beds lining the ward and medical supplies scattered around. The caption accompanying this powerful image quotes from Scott's Marmion: "When Pain and Anguish wring the brow, a ministering Angel thou!". These words perfectly encapsulate the role of these brave women who selflessly provided comfort and healing amidst great suffering. In this Victorian-era setting, where hygiene practices were still developing, we see the nurse diligently attending to her patient's needs. With pots of water nearby for cleanliness purposes, she embodies professionalism and commitment to improving health outcomes. Notably, this print also highlights gender roles at that time. While men fought on battlefields, it was women like these nurses who played an essential role in tending to their injuries and ensuring their well-being. Overall, this remarkable image serves as a testament to the invaluable contributions made by female nurses during times of war – their unwavering dedication transforming them into true angels amid pain and anguish.
