EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, titled "Once More into the Sun." The scene depicts wounded German officers in a military hospital at Versailles, being given fresh air and sunshine to aid in their recovery. Among them is Scottish Spiritualist medium Daniel Douglas Home, reading to the injured soldiers. The image not only showcases the physical toll of war through the presence of bandaged limbs and expressions of pain but also highlights the importance of compassion and care in times of conflict. Despite being on opposing sides, these men come together in a moment of vulnerability and humanity. The wood engraving beautifully conveys the atmosphere of hope and resilience amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of chaos and destruction, there are moments of tenderness and connection that transcend boundaries. Through this historical artwork, we are invited to reflect on the impact of war on individuals and communities while also celebrating acts of kindness and healing. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity in times of turmoil.
