EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the transformation of the SS "Princess of Wales" formerly known as the "Midnight Sun" into a Hospital-Ship by the Red Cross Society. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts this remarkable conversion with intricate detail and precision. The vessel's exterior is adorned with Red Cross insignia, symbolizing its new purpose as a floating hospital during a time of conflict. As we delve deeper into the print, we are granted access to witness life inside this extraordinary ship. The wards are filled with dedicated nursing sisters attending to wounded soldiers, their compassion evident in every gesture. The interior reveals various sections essential for medical care. A dispensary stands ready to provide necessary medications and treatments while an operating room displays surgical instruments meticulously arranged for life-saving procedures. An officers ward offers comfort and solace to those who have sacrificed so much for their country. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the Second Boer War era when hospital ships played a crucial role in providing medical aid amidst turmoil and strife. It captures not only the physical transformation of a vessel but also highlights humanity's resilience and commitment to healing even in times of war. Preserved within private collections, this lithograph continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who selflessly served on these converted hospital ships under challenging circumstances. Its historical significance remains intact, reminding us of our collective duty towards caring for others during times of crisis.
