EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration by New Zealand artist Edmund Blampied, titled "Ministering Angels," depicts a scene of compassion and unity during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Dated 1915, the print captures an ethereal moment as scores of nurses from various nationalities and sections descend a grand staircase. The nurses, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, represent the selfless and tireless efforts of women who dedicated themselves to the medical care of soldiers during the war. The fantasy of angels ministering to the wounded and weary soldiers was a common theme during this time, reflecting the hope and belief that divine intervention could bring solace and healing to those afflicted by the horrors of war. Blampied's masterful use of light and color adds an otherworldly quality to the scene, further emphasizing the angelic nature of the nurses. The diverse representation of nurses in the illustration underscores the international nature of the war effort and the global impact of the conflict. This historical image not only serves as a tribute to the heroic women who provided medical care during WWI but also as a reminder of the enduring power of hope and compassion in the face of adversity.
