In this captivating collection of images, we are transported through time and space to witness the profound act of compassion towards a wounded man. Inspired by the biblical parable of The Samaritan and the Wounded Man at the Wayside, these depictions showcase humanity's unwavering commitment to helping those in need. One engraving from 1579 reveals a man with a wound on his cheek, meticulously treated with plasters to prevent any visible stitch marks on his skin. This attention to detail showcases not only medical expertise but also an understanding of preserving one's dignity amidst adversity. Moving forward in history, we find ourselves amidst the chaos caused by an earthquake in Messina. Amidst ruins and destruction, a child is saved by navy personnel who transport them to safety aboard a ship. This powerful image reminds us that even in times of great calamity, there are always individuals willing to risk their own lives for others. The Easter Volunteer Manoeuvres bring forth another aspect of aid – the Ambulance Corps. Through an engraving capturing their noble efforts, we witness their preparedness and dedication as they stand ready to provide assistance during military exercises. Their presence serves as a reminder that even during times of war or conflict, care for the wounded remains paramount. Shifting our focus from land to sea, lithographs depict sailors diligently preparing for naval manoeuvres while embracing their responsibility towards one another's well-being. These scenes highlight both discipline and camaraderie within military units as they train tirelessly for potential battles ahead. Venturing into foreign lands with lithographs depicting With the 3rd Gurkha Rifles at Almorah brings us face-to-face with soldiers caring for each other amidst unfamiliar surroundings. Despite cultural differences or geographical distances separating them from home, these men exemplify unity and support when faced with adversity. A mesmerizing oil painting captures The Parable of The Samaritan itself - its vivid colors bringing life to the timeless tale of compassion and selflessness.
