EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century, titled "Searching for wounded" captures a poignant moment in history. The image depicts a group of young boys diligently scouring the aftermath of a train accident, desperately searching for any wounded individuals. The scene is filled with tension and urgency as these brave youngsters navigate through the wreckage, their determination evident on their faces. Their small figures against the vast rail landscape emphasize both their vulnerability and resilience in the face of such tragedy. This print was originally created as an illustration for Peter Parleys Annual in 1887, serving as a visual representation of the consequences that could arise from railway accidents during this era. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in medical history when access to proper healthcare was limited. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to this historical event. Through this engraving, we are reminded of the significance of medicine and health during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, there will always be those who rise up to help others in need – regardless of age or circumstance.
