Two Stereoview Photos of Red Cross Nurses Aiding Injured WWI Soldiers
Original Photo
Two stereoview photographs, from New York City and Antwerp, depicting nurses from the Red Cross attending to soldiers wounded in WWI. London: Underwood & Underwood. New York: Keystone View Company, 1919. 7" x 3.5" inches. Photo from the Antwerp hospital is sepia toned and depicts a Red Cross nurse aside a man who has been gravely wounded and has a bandaged face and arm. There are two other men with less serious injuries also pictured. The New York City stereoview is black and white, dated 1919, and has a full description on verso. The photo depicts a ward at Convalescent Hospital No. 5, which was located at Grand Central Palace and normally accommodated over 3,400 patients. This hospital was typically the last stop for an injured soldier before being released home, and the excitement is clearly worn on some soldiers' faces. During WWI, Red Cross nurses provided vital medical aid and continued to assist the hospitalized soldiers after the war's end, as shown by these photos. These two photos are both in very good condition.Item #17458
