"150 Years of Military Hospitals: A Journey Through History" Step back in time to January 1, 1855, as captured by the engraving of J. A. Vinter. Witness the Works of Mercy at Therapia Hospital, where dedicated medical professionals tirelessly cared for wounded soldiers during times of war. Travel further into the past and find yourself amidst the chaos of the Crimean War in 1854. The barrack hospital at Scutari stands as a testament to resilience and compassion amid adversity. Fast forward to Budapest's abandoned Soviet military hospital, frozen in time through The Wider Image lens. Explore its haunting corridors and imagine the stories that once echoed within those walls. The Illustrated London News brings us Miss Nightingale herself, tending to patients with unwavering dedication at Scutari's hospital. Her presence symbolizes hope and transformation amidst dire circumstances. Lacey House in Falmouth, Virginia takes us across continents to December 1862. Alexander Gardner's creation reveals a glimpse into American Civil War history—a reminder of how military hospitals have served on various battlefields throughout time. Venturing even farther east, witness "The War in the East" through an engraving depicting the Bombardment of Rustchuk—an illustration that showcases both destruction and healing efforts side by side. From wars fought on land to those waged behind bars—panoramic views reveal Iles du Salut's infamous Ile du Diable prison where Ex-Captain Dreyfus was held captive. Even here, medical care played a vital role for prisoners' well-being. Returning closer to home, we find ourselves immersed in Haslar Military Hospital depicted through another evocative engraving. This scene captures not only physical wounds being tended but also emotional support provided by fellow comrades-in-arms turned caregivers.
